EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
We work, grow, and learn together, supporting each other in a team-driven environment. Each production involves countless tasks, each as essential as the next. Our members, ranging from beginners to seasoned thespians, contribute their talents on and off stage to bring each show to life.
Commitment: We put on four shows per year, each with a three-month turnaround. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday and Friday evening from 7:30 pm to around 10:00 pm.
On-Stage Opportunities: Plays often come with specific casting needs, so while some productions may have roles for many cast members, others may only require a few. We strive to rotate our members, giving everyone their chance on stage. While this may mean a wait for certain roles, every contribution matters, and every role is valued in making our productions successful.
