Theater Programs
Members & Non Members
Member and Non Members, are invited to get involved in out theater programs! From acting workshops to musical theater performances, we have options for everyone! We are a community of actors that support each other’s growth. Our Theater group meets once a week for a 2 hour rehearsal. During that time we work on general theater skills, blocking scenes, learning dances, lines, and songs (if we are performing a musical).
Our next performance is….
About Oliver!…
The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.
