The show doesn't begin when the curtain rises... it begins long before the audience arrives.

Before opening night, it was truly all hands on deck as our cast and crew transformed the pavilion into a theatre worthy of our patrons. Chairs were scrubbed, seating was arranged, final details were checked, and everyone pitched in to make sure our guests would have the best possible experience.

And because theatre people know how to make work fun, they did it all while singing their favorite songs from the show! After all, why not whistle while you work?

This video is a glimpse of the teamwork, pride, and joy that happens behind the scenes. Every performer, crew member, and volunteer plays a part in creating the magic—not just on stage, but everywhere you look.

We couldn't be prouder of this incredible company and the heart they've poured into every detail.

It truly takes a village... and what a wonderful village it is.
