Theater Programs

Members & Non Members
Member and Non Members, are invited to get involved in out theater programs! From acting workshops to musical theater performances, we have options for everyone!  We are a community of actors that support each other’s growth. Our Theater group meets once a week for a 2 hour rehearsal. During that time we work on general theater skills, blocking scenes, learning dances, lines, and songs (if we are performing a musical).

Our Next Community Theater Performance is…

— About Seussical —
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
