2011/2012 Season

This season we will produce our first productions in our temporary facility next to the building site of our new theatre. We will do everything we can to make this a comfortable and convenient experience, but we also hope you’ll join us with a spirit of adventure for this completely unique season. Each time you visit the temporary site, you’ll be able to see the progress we’re making on our new theatre. Once our theatre is complete, we’ll have all the amenities of a first-class facility. In the meantime, we look forward to sharing the adventure of our 2011-2012 season with you. Become a subscriber today.
