Who We Are!

If you have an interest or talent in this performance art and wish to join our company, we enthusiastically welcome you!

Opportunities on stage and backstage abound! On stage, of course, we need actors, singers, and dancers. Backstage opportunities are always available for carpenters, set designers, painters, artists, costume designers, lighting technicians, props crews and on and on. Experience is not necessary - only interest and dedication are required!
