September 30th marked the end of our time in our brick and mortar building at 1200 2nd Ave SE. The theatre building may be dark, and our future uncertain, BUT because we have so much and people to be thankful for, we know that there is a bright and beautiful adventure ahead of us!

When we first moved into our venue in the summer of 2018, who could have known all the amazing things we would be able to do in this building? We started out with our first production, Beauty and the Beast and ended with 5 Women Wearing the Same Dress, with so many others in between! Our children's musical, Frozen, in the summer of 2019 was the first time Frozen had been performed locally. Our teen show, The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon won the 2019 Outstanding Award for Excellence from the Iowa Community Theatre Association! The cast of our production of  The Odd Couple (The Female version) was nominated that same year for best ensemble in a play, and and one of our own was nominated for best supporting actor in play. But we didn't just see plays in the building. We saw friendships formed, we saw skills learned, we saw new talents shine, but most importantly, we saw a love for the theatre grow.

Thank you to everyone who donated boxes, time, blood (literal and figurative, but thankfully only a few small injuries!), sweat (it was so hot that first weekend!), and laughter (laughter is ALWAYS the best medicine!) over the last few weekends. We couldn't have done it with out you.

While our feet may have left what we called home, 1200 2nd Ave SE will always have a piece of our hearts. On to our next great adventure!
