A BIG THANK YOU!
Community theatre relies on just that – our community – to help us get our shows on stage in a number of different ways! Space is always a challenge as we juggle rehearsals, set building, storage, painting, etc. With two shows on the go, things got a little tight at Rock St. So, we want to send out a big GTG THANK YOU to Marc Paxton, Express Parcel, and On the Edge Fringe for helping us with spaces to rehearse and build so we can get Tony and Tina’s Wedding and Trying ready for our audiences. We are truly grateful for the help! It is people and businesses like these that help us continue to be able to bring you amazing shows.
