Our spring show, The Good Doctor, opens this weekend! The show is a collection of scenes written by Neil Simon, based on the work of Anton Chekhov. A comedy (for the most part), it is set in Russia, at the turn of the 20th century.
The show is directed by Susan Donahue, with assistant directors Cece Elkinton and Ashley Arledge. Aaron Perkins takes the lead, portraying a writer who shares the fanciful worlds of his pen with the audience through the show's assortment of scenes. The rest of the cast, who compose the characters of the his stories, can be found here. The show opens May 6, with performances on May 6, 7, 13, 14 at 7:30pm, and a matinee on May 14 at 2:00pm. Tickets will be $5, with VIP tickets (which include choice seating and dessert provided) available for $10. Well people, the votes are in and counted! Congratulations to the 2016-17 Troupe #699 Thespian Officers!
Madeline Cooper Maddie Baker Mikiah Salinas Drake Dalgleish Thank you to everyone who ran, and everyone who voted! If you were not elected, we hope that you will continue to be involved in the leadership and growth of the troupe. We understand that some may be surprised at only having four officers, but we have done our best to honor the votes of the troupe members. Thank you for understanding.  Lockdown performs this Friday, a one-act play about eight kids and a teacher in a school lockdown.
