“During my time here at the Playhouse it has always been important to me to open our theatre to the community both on stage and off in as many ways as possible. This year we have chosen to invite into our home an important local children’s theatre company. Theatre 360 has served our community with theatre education and performance opportunities for our young people and students since 1999; we are thrilled to be able to provide a larger stage to showcase their work,” said Sheldon Epps. He added, “When Devon and I started discussing this several months ago it became clear that a very special event was beginning to take shape. By opening the doors of the Playhouse to Theatre 360 and their audience, we can all share in the great joy of watching our children and teens learn the art of theatre and performing for a live audience.”
