It's the end of school season and the beginning of summer!
After our beautiful run of Queen Lear in May, we are planning the upcoming season and are excited to have some more stability and the ability to plan ahead again!

As usual we will be holding our popular Camps for Kids with Jennie Bice, one in July and one in August this year. There are a few spots left, click here for more info and to register.

We'll be holding auditions for Alien:Panto in September this year, and in October we have two shows coming up: A night of Spooky Radio Plays on October 23, and we will be a part of the 30th Anniversary of the Clarke Theatre on October 24.

For the Clarke show we will be performing a medley of Panto songs from the last 20 years, and are looking for the original actors! Past Panto performers who wish to be a part of the show, please email us at [email protected] with your proposal for a song you sang in a past panto. We will have an accompanying band. Submissions must be in by September 8. Rehearsal schedules will be flexible.

For the radio play and this year's panto casting calls, watch this space!
