⁣
It’s been a little quiet here on our social media pages lately, but we promise we haven’t been resting! Since closing our production of Frozen, several members of the Evolve Theatrics Board were busy assisting another local community theater production, serving in roles including Director, Assistant Director, Choreographer, and Costumer.⁣
⁣
At the same time, we have continued working behind the scenes on our upcoming production of 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘦; including set design and construction, which is already underway!⁣
⁣
At Evolve Theatrics, we truly believe community theaters are stronger when we support one another and demonstrate what it means to be a community. Theater thrives when artists, volunteers, and organizations lift each other up, and we are proud to be part of that spirit of collaboration.⁣
⁣
Now, with that production behind us, we are moving full steam ahead with preparations for 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘦 auditions coming this July! We can’t wait to share more details, sneak peeks, and opportunities to get involved in the weeks ahead.⁣
⁣
After all, “The sun’ll come out tomorrow!”

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲!⁣
⁣
Today, we celebrate World Theatre Day—a day that reminds us why we do what we do.⁣
⁣
Theatre is more than lights, lines, and music. It is community. It is the coming together of people from all walks of life to create something meaningful, something fleeting, and something unforgettable.⁣
⁣
It’s the shared experiences—late-night rehearsals, opening night nerves, spontaneous laughter, and the quiet, powerful moments that take our breath away. It’s the perseverance to keep going when things get hard, to trust the process, and to lift each other up along the way.⁣
⁣
And perhaps most importantly, theatre is family—the kind you find, the kind you build, and the kind that stays with you long after the curtain falls.⁣
⁣
At Evolve Theatrics, we are endlessly grateful for every artist, volunteer, audience member, and supporter who makes this community what it is. Thank you for being part of our story.⁣
⁣
Happy World Theatre Day to our incredible community and our Evolve family—thank you for sharing your passion, your perseverance, and your hearts with us, today and always.

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐛!⁣
⁣
Evolve Theatrics may be a small community theater company in terms of the number of individuals who keep it running, but it is powered by an extraordinary team whose talent, dedication, and vision consistently bring big dreams to life. Even during this “break” between productions—though we all know there is no true pause when creativity is involved—we are hard at work planning what comes next. It’s the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the remarkable people working behind the scenes who make our productions possible.⁣
⁣
Today, we are honored to introduce Bob.⁣
⁣
Bob serves as Treasurer on our Board of Directors, but to simply define him by a title would be to overlook the profound impact he has on every production. Bob is, quite truly, a cornerstone of Evolve Theatrics. His artistry, craftsmanship, and unwavering commitment are evident in every set that graces our stage.⁣
⁣
From the very beginning of our partnership with Delta Presbyterian Church, it was Bob who transformed an ambitious idea into a fully realized performance space. Through ingenuity and tireless effort, he designed and built a stage that can be assembled and disassembled within the church sanctuary—an extraordinary feat that has allowed us to bring immersive theater into a nontraditional venue.⁣
⁣
Bob’s creative vision extends far beyond function. His recently debuted “storybook” backdrop in Frozen is a testament to his ability to blend imagination with precision, creating environments that elevate storytelling and transport audiences. What sets Bob apart is not only his exceptional attention to detail, but also his collaborative spirit. He listens thoughtfully, embraces ideas, and then refines them—time and again delivering designs that not only meet expectations but surpass them, all while ensuring sustainability and reusability for future productions.⁣
⁣
It is rare to find someone who combines such technical skill with humility, generosity, and a genuine “can-do” spirit. Even more remarkable is Bob’s willingness to dedicate so much of his well-earned retirement time to supporting this company and its mission.⁣
⁣
We are deeply grateful for Bob—for his talent, his craftsmanship, his vision, and his heart. Evolve Theatrics is stronger, more creative, and more inspired because of him.⁣
⁣
Thank you, Bob. Your contributions are invaluable, and you are truly appreciated.

⁣
After thoughtful consideration, we’ve made the decision not to produce a show in July 2026. With scheduling demands and our commitment to producing high-quality work, we felt it was important to take this time to reset and ensure our next production receives the time, focus, and care it deserves. That said—we’re excited for what’s ahead!⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞!⁣
⁣
This beloved musical is filled with heart, humor, and unforgettable songs—and offers wonderful opportunities for performers of all ages, including many principal and featured roles for adult performers.⁣

At a time when the world can feel heavy, we feel called to bring a story to the stage that is grounded in hope, resilience, and optimism—a production that lifts spirits, brings people together, and serves as a reminder of the power of community and the promise of brighter days ahead.⁣
⁣
Auditions will take place in July 2026, and performances will take place in October 2026. We can’t wait to see all the incredible talent our community brings to the auditions.⁣
⁣
We also want to share that we will no longer be producing Come From Away, as other outstanding companies in the area will be presenting the show this fall. We encourage you to support their productions—we know they’ll be exceptional.⁣
⁣
To everyone who was part of Frozen—thank you. With sold-out audiences, standing ovations, and a cast and crew who gave their very best, it was a truly magical and memorable production. It was a powerful reminder of what community theatre can achieve when passionate artists come together.⁣
⁣
We can’t wait to see you at auditions in July and in our audiences in October!⁣

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 -- 𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲⁣
⁣
Evolve Theatrics would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended our production of Frozen: The Broadway Musical over the past two weekends. ⁣
⁣
From auditions back in October through months of rehearsals, we had a feeling something special was unfolding on our stage. What we experienced these last two weekends exceeded every hope. We could not have asked for more enthusiastic, joyful, and supportive audiences. Your spontaneous applause, laughter, cheers, and standing ovations meant the world to our cast and creative team.⁣
⁣
Producing a large-scale musical like Frozen truly takes a village. While you see the magic under the stage lights, there are countless unsung heroes working tirelessly behind the scenes — building sets, managing costumes, running sound and lights, organizing props, coordinating volunteers, and so much more. Their dedication, talent, and heart are what make the onstage magic possible.⁣
⁣
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be introducing you to the incredible individuals who bring that magic to life behind the curtain. They may not take a bow on stage, but they are stars in their own right.⁣
⁣
Thank you for supporting live theatre. Thank you for supporting local artists. And thank you for being part of the Evolve Theatrics family.

⁣
Last night was pure live theatre magic.⁣
⁣
When illness sidelined our Hans, Ayden Soupal stepped up in a way that left our audience cheering. Not only did he continue delighting everyone as Olaf — the lovable snowman we all adore — he also took on the role of Hans… with less than TWO days to prepare.⁣
⁣
And wowed. ⁣
⁣
From heartfelt moments to dramatic turns, Ayden seamlessly transformed from snowman to prince, showcasing incredible range and stage presence. Add in lightning-fast costume changes (executed flawlessly with the help of an amazing backstage team!), and you have a night none of us will forget.⁣
⁣
It is rare for an actor to portray two vastly different characters in the same production — comedic sidekick and charming royal — and Ayden embraced the challenge with professionalism, talent, and determination.⁣
⁣
If you missed it, you’re in luck! Ayden will once again be performing both Olaf and Hans in tonight’s production of Frozen.⁣
⁣
We have only TWO performances remaining — and you do not want to miss the chance to witness this extraordinary feat of theatre.⁣

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲!⁣
⁣
One of the joys of live theatre is that you never quite know what the evening will bring — and when the unexpected happens, you truly discover what your company is made of.⁣
⁣
Unfortunately, our actor playing Hans has fallen ill and will be unable to perform tonight. But as they say in Arendelle… the snow must go on ⁣
⁣
And stepping in to save the day? A very happy snowman.⁣
⁣
Yes — Ayden Soupal, who has been delighting audiences as Olaf, will also be taking on the role of Hans this evening! Over the past two days, Ayden has been hard at work preparing this additional role, and tonight he will be performing both Olaf and Hans — an incredible testament to his talent, dedication, and character.⁣
⁣
We also want to give a special shout-out to Aidyn Narezo and Melanie Walker for jumping in to help make this transition as seamless as possible. This is what true teamwork looks like.⁣
⁣
Moments like this remind us why we love live theatre — resilience, collaboration, and a company that rises to the occasion.⁣
⁣
Break a leg tonight, Ayden! Our audiences are in for another beautiful night at Evolve Theatrics. Get your tickets for this weekend of performances at: https://www.evolvetheatrics.com/tickets.html

Thank you for continuing to support Evolve Theatrics and live theatre in our community. We can’t wait to see you in the audience!

That timeless and universal theme almost brought me to tears at the conclusion of Evolve Theatrics’ production of “Frozen: The Musical,” which brings everything fans know and love about the film to the cozy stage at Delta Presbyterian Church.
