UPDATE: MAY 21, 2020 GOOD NEWS!
A week ago we had $1,029 in our 20/2020 campaign support fund. TODAY we have $1,369! Our goal is $3,000 for the year. A handful of folks have been giving small amounts each month! Thanks to EVERYONE in our family and wider-circle patrons for their generous spirit and encouraging words! Like all small community theaters, our financial position during the pandemic depends on the generosity of our donors and our grant partners for future programming. Although we cannot know at this point when we will be able to open again, but when we do we will operating with all safe procedures in place and limited seating capacity to allow for appropriate distancing. We look forward to opening our doors once more to community, connection, laughter, inspiration and joy. This is an opportunity to reflect, learn and build our anticipation for gathering again. 
We're thankful to our funding partners for their proactive response to support non-profit agencies in our region during the pandemic.

Our 2020 Live Musical Play!A reprise of our original production from 2011. Developed for stage from the original book by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson.
Faithfully reproducing the story by Charles Dickens, enriched by the classic sounds of Victorian carols common in Victorian England; exquisite period costuming; and beautiful hand-painted backdrops, this stage version was picked up by schools across the country in the years following the 2011 show, and even discovered by a community theater company in Nottinghamshire, England, who asked to used it. In light of changing plans and extenuating circumstances due to the unprecedented situation this year, this show will allow us comfortably to produce an old familiar favorite story, perfect for the holidays. AUDITIONS are yet to be scheduled, and may need to be submitted by video. Information is going out on our Facebook page, and by email. STAY TUNED. A Christmas Carol!
