What's Happening Now...Up Coming Shows Fall 2011

The dog days of summer are winding down, but rather than hitting the beach one last time or partaking in Back-to-School sales, we've been busy getting ready for our fall shows!   We are so excited about our Main Stage and Young Actor's season openers this year, so please forgive us if we tend to carry on here with information, director's and actor's commentary and a few sneak peaks behind the scenes of rehearsal...wait, that's what you're here for?  Perfect!

Our Main Stage season opener is Our Town by Thorton Wilder.  This American classic portrays life in a small town; how people live and how they die.  The Westport Theatre in Connecticut produced Our Town in 2002 as a response to 9/11 and we've drawn our inspiration from them for the 10 year anniversary of that tragic day.  What does it mean to be alive, and love, and face your own mortality?  What does it mean to be an American?  We hope you'll be a part of the discussion!  Come see the show September 16-18 and 22-24.  

Our Young Actor's season opener is Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson and Stephanie S. Tolan.  Adapted from the Newberry Award winning book, we present the story of Jesse, an average kid who feels like an outsider in his average family and average town.  Enter Leslie, a new girl from the city who is the ultimate outsider.   Together they form an incredible friendship on the power of their imaginations and dreams of something bigger than what they know.  Come and see the show September 29 - October 2.


As always, more information on Evergreen and our season can be found at evergreenproductions.org.  Stop by and poke around awhile.  And be sure to check back regularly, right here on our blog, for more write ups from directors, actors, designers, and board members to get a peek at life inside a thriving local community theatre.  Maybe you'll be inspired to join us, or at least to join the discussion!


Hope to see you at the shows and around the blog,
