Dramatically Speaking: Working together
Collaboration and community on display
Creating theatre is all about collaboration, and that has been especially evident at TL over the past few weeks.
First, the cast of “Young Frankenstein” demonstrated incredible teamwork. When illness kept some actors and crew from performing, everyone pulled together to cover roles and keep backstage operations running smoothly. Bravo to everyone involved for showing that the show truly must go on!
Next, we partnered with the enthusiastic artists from the newly formed Bicycle Face Productions. Their presentation of new 10-minute works by local playwrights—graduates of TL’s playwrighting workshop over the past year—was a fantastic showcase of the creative energy alive in our community.
Finally, we want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to our recent fundraising concert featuring Yesterday and Today: The Beatles Interactive Experience. With a new format and date, this event was a departure from our traditional fundraiser (Dueling), but thanks to everyone in the audience and behind the scenes, we raised funds to support the theatre, particularly The Penguin Project.
All of this success is a result of extraordinary collaboration—on stage, behind the scenes, and in the audience. Together, we continue to prove just how much the community is at the heart of everything we do.
See you at the theatre,
Jamie Ulmer
