Our first season in our new home.
It was a season of high and lows, of back-breaking work and long applause.
It was a season that holds out the promise of a tremendous amount to come!
Above: The Invocation to the Gods and Instructions to the Audience: a 3,000 year tour of the history of theatre, leading to the Full Circle.
Below: The Director's Sketch. Janice Jacklin gives us her wisdom: "It might be Hamlet, but it's got to be FUN!, FUN!, FUN!"
Here is a short video of the Grand Finale, along with our thanks to all involved in bringing our dream to life!

The Imaginary Invalid
By Molière
An original adaptation based on a translation by

Joy run amok! Called "a tour de force!" and "a timeless classic brought to vivid life", The Invalid continues to delight, shock, amuse and, perhaps, offend people more than three centuries after it was written. This was classic theatre that is actually classic!

The crazy, joyous finale: deconstructing and destroying the sacred facultatis medicatus.
The women in ARGAN's life, who run him ragged: BÉLINE, TOINETTE, ANGÉLIQUE and LOUISON
Lots of skin means lots of ticket sales, of course, and we had plenty of skin, thanks to Kristy's legs and David B.'s, ahem, "short hair-cut". David J. wisely stayed covered.
