Ready or Not, we open tomorrow!

Well, the stage is set and we're as ready as we'll ever be! Tonight's dress rehearsal had some fun (and terrifying!) moments, but we're looking forward to the energy of the audience tomorrow on our special Halloween Opening Night Costume Contest though! 
Hope to see you there!

Sets, Lights, and Staging

It's just two weeks until Dracula opens (Friday, October 31st, 2014 at 7:30pm at the Creekside Theatre) and tonight we put up the set and played with the lights. It's fun to actual see the stage transform before our eyes and get to move around in the new space. 

Thanks to everyone for helping, but especially to Darby for putting all the walls up. 

Things are rolling right along and we hope to see you in the theatre soon too! Don't forget our costume contest on Halloween Night.
