Meet Blanche. She loves long, hot baths, cool, pink lemonade, and all of the finer things in life. She finds a lot of those fine things at another one of our sponsors, Slip Vintage. You can meet Blanche in just a few days and see what happens when she steps off that streetcar. https://mashuprockandrollmusical.com/upcoming-shows-tickets/

Stanley decided he wanted to get a tattoo, so of course he booked himself at the place where weirdos are welcome - Northwoods Tattoo ! What do you think Stanley chose for his design?

Meet Stanley. He loves Stella, games with friends (so long as he wins), and a hot plate of good food. Recently he had a chance to visit one of our sponsors, Red Spire Brunch House, and gave monster compliments to the chef. Next on his list is The Dandy! Don't forget your chance to meet Stanley and the whole cast! https://mashuprockandrollmusical.com/upcoming-shows-tickets/

Meet Lolly! As the only kid on the block she's used to playing alone, but she had a blast getting musical with the amazing Miriam Pico Music. And big reveal - Miriam Pico will be our special musical guest for opening night of A Sesame Streetcar Named Desire. Remember, you can meet Lolly and the rest of our original puppets this Saturday (August 29th) at our Free Puppet Workshop at The MATCH

More great stuff happening at The MATCH!

😎 May events are here! Three to be precise!

👊 Teaching artist Kendall Kotcher takes a jab at Unarmed Stage Combat for those 18+ on Saturday, May 16th. You won't want to miss this workshop on how to punch up your characters 😉

📸 KarunaPhoto graces our stage at the MATCH with mini headshot sessions for anyone (not just actors or singers!) looking to get a professional photo that expresses your personality. Come by for a fantastic photo at a fraction of the price for formal headshots!

🎭 And wrapping up the month is teaching artist Aaron Wineman who's leading one of the most sought after workshops we've heard about these last few months: directing! Whether you've never directed before, or only assistant directed, or it's been some time since you were behind the curtain calling the shots - we encourage you to join us for a crash course in directing. Students who attend this workshop will be eligible for a discount to our 6 week course which offers a more hands on and in-depth training on how to bring out the theatrical leader in you.

Visit: https://www.solsticetheatre.company/the-luminary-lab to find your workshop and register.

**A limited number of scholarships are available as well. Please DM if interested.

Don’t worry - we won’t let a little leak put out the the match. We’ll be all fixed up and ready for Q***r Cabaret next weekend!

Shout out to troupe members Karl, Ben, Allix, Kristen and Jill for coming to the rescue earlier this week when we discovered a leak in the roof of The MATCH. These fine folks dropped everything to help Lesley move props and set pieces to safety. Much love going out to all dealing with the floods this week and a big thank you to all those folks who’ve been helping the community with damage control!
