Urinetown

Director's Note I. LOVE. THIS. MUSICAL. I had no idea what I was in for about ten years ago when I saw the Broadway touring production. I left more entertained by a theatrical production than I ever had before! What a gift it was to laugh so much that night! So, I have always wanted to be a part of this show, but how to tap dance around such an awful title in our community? Because the show itself is quite clean. Many Kensington actors became … [Read more...] about Urinetown

See How They Run

From Our Audiences "A collage of awesomeness!" "I laughed so hard!" "Fast paced and funny!" "Great characters from every single cast member!" "I didn't expect it to be THAT funny!" Director's Note: I remember when I was 10 years old and my parents dragged me to go see a play called See How They Run. Needless to say, I was not pumped about it.

We had such a … [Read more...] about Footloose

Voodoo You Do

An Original Comedy by Annie Pulsipher Director's Note This play is cursed... but in a good way. Some sliver of magic found it's way into our theatre company and settled itself on this show. From the beginning things seemed to "magically" work out. Everything from getting the exact personalities in our actors, to building supplies that "magically" found their way to our sets. Magic! So now I invite you to sit back and let yourself get caught … [Read more...] about Voodoo You Do

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Director's Note: I love Christmas! it brings out the best in each of us. We tend to be more loving, forgiving, generous, and kind. It's more that just Santa and presents. It's much deeper. And like Imogene Herdman, it can change us into something more, something greater. Christmas fills us with hope, understanding, and peace and with that we can feel the cheer of the season as we remember what is important to us. "Hey! Hey! Unto you a child is … [Read more...] about The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Director's Note Shakespeare's plays have been with us for 500 years because he understood the human condition. Whether it was the conflict in his great tragedies and historical dramas or in this case his delightful electric comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, his narratives are still relevant. Tonight's production is an exploration of the absurdities of love and attraction... "Lord, what fools these mortals be." ~Kevin Dudley A Midsummer … [Read more...] about A Midsummer Night’s Dream
