Producer's Note

​

Here it is 2022 and the beginning of our 30th season. It’s almost hard to believe that 30 years ago we were just  beginning this journey of bringing community theatre to this area. We opened with A Christmas Carol and it’s been a fun filled extremely full endeavor ever since. 

FUN FACT: To date we’ve produced 206 main productions and 49 Children Theatre productions. That’s approximately 4,650 performances and way too many Cast Pictures to align the walls. This season we selected favorite productions from over thepast 30 years, starting with the hit ‘Forever Plaid’. Take a look at our season, we’re positive you’ll find a favorite or two you’ll want to be sure and see or better yet – join us for all 7 shows!

ANOTHER FUN FACT: After 30 years of young actors growing up on this stage, there have been many to go on to perform at bigger venues, and other theatres. Some have learned the skills to help them receive college scholarships. It is our privilege to welcome back some of our talented performers that basically grew up on this stage as: directors, set designers/builders, costumers, wig designers, marketing directors, house managers, choreographers as well as actors, etc. etc. etc.

We are pleased to point out that the director of ‘Forever Plaid’, Brady Stratton, who is also playing the role of Frankie, started to perform here at the Playhouse at the young age of 12. He was a regular here along with his family, then had many leads in high school and at other theatres. He is also our Marketing Director and doing a fantastic job. It is our desire to continue what was started in 1992 to bring to this community a place where we can be entertained, share our talents, make lasting life long memories and friends.

Director's Note

​

Forever Plaid has long been an audience favorite. This is my third time working on the production in one form or another and I always love seeing how the show touches others. As time moves forward, many aspects of the show may seem outdated. There are fewer and fewer people who know the names Perry Como and Ed Sullivan. The songs are brand new to the younger generation who didn't grow up with them. However, I believe the show remains relevant because it's theme centers on the universal desire we all have of realizing our dreams. We have all been given this time on earth to fulfill our amazing potential and touch as many dreams as we are willing to go after. We just have to have the courage to do so. 

​

So as we start another year, I encourage you to be inspired by the message of this show and decide what dream you will chase after in 2022. I would like to dedicate this show to the founder's of this wonderful playhouse, Beverly and Blaine Olsen, who have helped thousands of people over the years reach dreams of their own. Enjoy the show!
