Welcome to our 35th annual Summer Youth Theatre production...an event that always puts a smile on my face!
Just before school got out in June, the amazing group of young people involved in this production started rehearsing, building and painting scenery, helping with costumes and lighting, selling ads, etc., and will be "running" the show. This program is very important to all of us at Curtain Call. Helping prepare another generation is exciting and, for most of us, reminds us of our beginnings.
My first summer theatre experience as an actor was long ago in the summer of 1973 and I am still friends with several members of that production. We know that theatre friends are the best and are happy to share in the joy of creating these lasting relationships! We know that the many skills developed over the course of the summer are invaluable. Theatre is a collaborative art, and much like organized sports, teaches the value of teamwork, the ability to stand in front of an audience, d and much more - all skills helpful in life whether pursuing a career in the theatre or not.
To the families of our young participants - THANK YOU for supporting them this summer. We know that it can be challenging to fit the rigorous rehearsal schedule into what is often a more laid back summer routine. We hope you all appreciate the work your kids have put into this great show.
And great shows are what we work on all year. Beginning next month, we'll kick off our new season which includes one of the first select community theatre productions in the country of the Tony Award winning musical, COME FROM AWAY, plus 9 other full-scale productions, many of which have never played here before. Our entire season (nearly 200 performances!) is listed in this program. We hope you'll come back and see some of the shows we have on tap. Our five, seven and 10-ticket FLEX PASSES, offer significant savings (and restaurant discounts), and more, making regular attendance here very reasonable indeed.
We also have some very exciting special events coming up, too. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date by clicking here.
For now, sit back, relax and enjoy your time at HOLIDAY INN!
