There’s always something enjoyable on a stage near you, so if your favorite theater is closed for the season, take a look at what other theaters have to offer. There’s nothing quite so magical as live theater, and we’re lucky to live in a place where so much of that magic is nearby, affordable, and easily accessible to all.

After only 20 hours of rehearsal, actors perform with scripts in hand and a suggestion of sets and costumes and writers benefit from the input given by the directors and actors as well as a post-performance audience discussion.
