Community theatre is a miracle.
Somewhere in the midst of having careers and families and what's for dinner and a list of priorities and obligations as long as Highway 11, we are SO lucky to have this crazy thing called theatre.
Theatre holds in its hand a spark that is alive if we're alive. A spark that knows it is still important to play, and to create, to gather together to feel and to think and rethink about who we are and why we're here on this wee planet.
We do it through the telling of stories, through being entertained and challenged by those stories. Lots of it is good. Some of it drives us crazy in its imperfection. And, when we're fortunate, we witness perfect aha! moments that send us out of the theatre changed by the experience. Welcome to the wonder. We're happy to have you with us.

1 Act Plays ~ How to Get Involved!
We're preparing for next season's 1 act play possibilities. We would love to see as many people express an interest as possible. The Gateway Theatre Guild submitted and participated in the one act festival WORKSHOP held by Richard Howard in Sault Ste. Marie in June 5-7 2009 and it was a real delight. This enlightning weekend was both fun and entertaining to say the least. Next season, we're submitting more one act plays. If you would like to inquire about becoming involved, please contact us we would love to hear from you.

THEATRE WORKSHOPS!
On June 5-7 2009, Richard Howard held a 1 ACT Drama Festival Workshop hosted by Sault Theatre Workshop. A few of our GTG members attended and were absolutely educated! We submitted two 1 Act plays to this festival. There is so much to learn in the theatre world; all we have to do is open the door when opportunity knocks.
DON'T MISS OUT!
