An Enormous "Thank You" to Our Amazing Community!

Wow. Just... wow. We are overwhelmed with gratitude!

Because of our incredible community and our dedicated season ticket holders, our second show of the season, The Play That Goes Wrong, was a smash hit, playing to almost completely sold-out houses every single night!

We truly have an amazing community, and we are so thankful for your support. But don't just take our word for it—we loved hearing from all of you!

Here's What Audiences Had to Say:

A production of this scale is a massive undertaking, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every single person who had a hand in its success—from the stage to the audience and everyone in between.
