Dear Friends,

Happy spring and welcome to the fourth production of our phenomenal 22-23 Musical Theatre Season. We received fantastic feedback from our patrons and donors about our season so far, including rave reviews for the regional premiere of Honeymoon in Vegas! The audiences that took a chance on this new title absolutely loved it! Now we open the biggest show in Slow Burn Theatre history…. our production of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins. We hope you will be flying home happy when you leave us today.  After this beloved classic, we will close the season with Disney’s Broadway musical hit Newsies... tickets are selling fast, so don't miss out!

We would also like to remind you that for the 2023-24 season, we will be producing five amazing titles, so get ready for a great adventure! Into the Woods - October 2023, Little Mermaid - December 2023, Sister Act - February 2024, The Prom March/April 2024 & Spongebob The Musical - June 2024. New subscriptions are on sale now!

Thank you for your continued support! We love seeing you in your seats!

With much love and gratitude,

Patrick
