HAPPY SUMMER to our Theater Under the Stairs family and friends!! ☀️

Yikes, our last Instagram post was in 2019 — what a long strange trip it’s been since then, eh? 🫨🫠

Playing all summer at Cape Rep Theatre in Brewster, on the outdoor stage (indoors if it rains). Shows are Wednesday & Thursday mornings at 10 am — and for the first time, we will have evening shows at 7:30 pm for two weeks in July! 🫧

Any time we are lucky enough to get the gang back together for a show, we find ourselves constantly reminiscing about our Cotuit productions… If you were ever a TUTS kid during the course of our nine season history, please know that we have never forgotten about you, and we miss making theater with you! We love to hear about the amazing things you are doing in the world and we’re so proud of you all 🥹

Have a most excellent summer, and we hope to see you soon at the theater and beyond!! 🎭

With Love and Butter Biscuits™️,
👵🏻 Mrs. Landingcastle &
