We are a non-profit, volunteer-run, educational organization, giving opportunities for study through presentations of plays and musicals. We work with and train actors, technicians, and other essential personnel in the theater arts, enhancing aesthetic and technical awareness and skills in their chosen area under the guidance of those in the company who are highly experienced in their craft.
