UPCOMING EVENTS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 8\u00a0\u2013<\/b>Masks In<\/a>\"\"<\/a>side and Out<\/a>\u00a0with Steve Jarand –\u00a0<\/strong>We all hide behind different versions of ourselves. The roles we play are temporary masks we wear. These masks help us navigate through our lives, yet revealing what lies underneath may feel too personal. But if we wear a real mask and play the game of disguise, honest expression turns our self-consciousness into an adventure. Showing something genuine from inside feels like a universal truth. It is a joy for us, and a gift to the audience. Fabulous Value!<\/em><\/p>\n

June 9, 2:00 – 4:00 \u2013 Annual Appreciation BBQ –\u00a0<\/b>Join us for an afternoon of FREE BBQ, door prizes, socializing, and show reminiscing all hosted by our wonderful Board of Directors!\u00a0 Show mementos will be available for pick up (cast photos, etc).\u00a0 There will also be information on our new season, and how to get involved.
