HOLIDAY BREAK AND ONGOING STORM REPAIRS (UPDATED)

UPDATE SATURDAY DECEMBER 21, 2024: ENJOY THE BREAK!
The delay caused by the adjustors all being occupied out of state with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Wyoming wildfires and other major natural disasters around the US has alleviated, and so we have now begun the interior repairs which will be ongoing through the winter break period and may still be happening once classes resume in January. These repairs all involve sheetrock work which just cannot be done without making some mess. Thank you for your patience as we get all put back together!

Also please note, we are now on break through Friday January 3 and resume classes Saturday January 4, 2025. The costume ordering deadline for Cinderella is coming up Saturday January 11, 2025.

September 21, 2024:

As many of you know, during this past Spring one of the violent storms that came through caused serious damage to the roof. The week of Peter Pan in June an entire roof replacement was done; in the following weeks the solar power array was re-installed on the roof; and at this time with the weather shifting into a cooler mode for autumn we are shifting gears into doing interior repairs, which are somewhat tricky as we need to continue using the building at the same time. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we proceed through this process in the coming months!

Peter Pan A Terrific Success!

We just want to thank everyone who helped make Peter Pan the smash success that it was, setting a ticket sale record and replete with technical accomplishments and high adventure for all involved! We also need to thank the Missouri Arts Council for their truly generous support of our performance events. Thank you to Board Member Jacqueline Beshears, Mrs Stephanie Miller, Mrs Angela Rice, Ms Katie Crouch, Mrs Arjean Emmons, and Mr and Mrs Shayne Price for all the extra help and assistance that made for such a wonderful event.

Next up: Nutcracker School Tour and Family Experience performances in December 2024…

No Classes Memorial Day Weekend Saturday and Monday May 28 and May 30, 2022

Coming up May 28 and May 30, Saturday and Monday, we will be closed for the Memorial Day weekend break. This is part of the reason why we state that no other absences may happen in May prior to June performances, because we want to have Memorial Day off! Also Pictures and T Shirts are now in, so make sure to get yours picked up before Saturday May 28 — after that, the schedule and pace really gets energetic with two all cast rehearsals Tuesday May 31 and Saturday June 4 as detailed in the letter already sent home to all cast members, and then after that, BAM!!!
