OPEN OPPORTUNITIES ALWAYS looking for production staff - office, set, technical as in lighting/sound/costumes, etc. - we're not necessarily looking for people who have a huge resume (although experience DOES help) , but we like to think that we can offer people an opportunity to learn something they've never done before and that they can have fun doing in a nurturing, supportive environment

SELF DESCRIPTION We are a non-for-profit, semi-professional theater company specializing in bringing top quality theatrical entertainment to as wide an audience as possible and at affordable prices. Our approach is two-fold. First we continue to and promote new artists and audiences. Secondly, we will present our audiences with "the Best of the Best" theater has to offer, namely, as many of the established award winning plays and authors as possible, or by producing new material that shows promise and may well be such award-winners in the future. Our goal is clear - to aim high in the the scope of theater and maintain that caliber in every presentation. Quality at affordable prices - that is what we strive for.
