Opening night of Lemonade was bittersweet. The incredible artists involved both onstage and off created a magical experience for our audience, but due to an injury, one of our principal cast members, Ashanti J’aria, will unfortunately be unable to complete the run of Lemonade. While we are heartbroken by this situation, we are so grateful to Ashanti for helping us learn so much in this process about her character, Cathy, and for bringing so much warmth and power to her performance. Our hearts are with you as you heal and recover, Ashanti.

To ensure ticket holders are able to experience the joyful world of Lemonade for the rest of its run, we are pleased to welcome Katie Harvey to the cast. She will be making her debut as Cathy in the August 20th evening performance and will be with the company through closing on August 30th. 🍋

Attention, theatre-goers! Previews for Lemonade: A Fresh Pressed Musical begin TOMORROW! 🍋

There’s something extra special about being among the very first audiences to experience an original musical. Before Lemonade goes anywhere else, you’ll have the chance to see this fresh, family-friendly story take its first steps right here on the Thigpen Mainstage at Trustus Theatre.

And there’s no better time to see a new work than during previews. Not only are preview tickets available at a discounted price (half of the price of regular performance tickets!), but you’ll get a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse at the creative process as the cast and creative team continue shaping the show in real time. Lines may shift, moments may evolve, and changes may be made based on the energy and response of the audience — meaning every preview is a little different.

Come be part of the process, support new musical theatre, and help us bring this original story to life before it goes anywhere else. Lemonade: A Fresh Pressed Musical starts previews tomorrow and runs through August 30th!
