The Wednesday Troupe dove deeply into their work on our May production, Charlotte’s Web. The Thursday Troupe performed their reimagined show, Ordinary Heroes in November--- wildly acclaimed for its inventiveness and positivity, the show was a triumph! Many bore witness to the glorious talent and dreams of our inclusive theater troupe of twenty actors.

The Wednesday Troupe is poised to continue developing their unique telling of the Charlotte’s Web story with puppetry, painting and scenic design, dancing, sound, and poetry.
