Wow. Just... wow.

This weekend was amazing. Saturday and Sunday were completely SOLD OUT!

We are overwhelmed with gratitude. Because of you—our incredible community and dedicated season ticket holders—our production of The Play That Goes Wrong was a smash hit with packed houses every night. We are so thankful for your support in making the magic happen.

But don't just take our word for it—here is what you had to say!

"This was, by far, the funniest show we have ever seen. I highly recommend seeing it!" — Angela Slusarchuk Ghirardo
"Incredible show, so well done. We laughed through the entire show." — David Ludwig"
It was part of the season ticket package and I loved it.... What a great show!" — Scott Keeling"
We saw it last night. So funny. Really enjoyed it." — Lugene Mathey"
