This weekend, we wrapped up our run of Next to Normal. Huge thanks to everyone who came out over the past few weeks—you showed up, felt all the feels, and let this story hit home with us.

This production was more than just a show; it was a conversation about mental health, family, and resilience. We’re so grateful for our amazing cast, crew, and audiences who made every performance truly special. Your laughter, tears, and applause reminded us why we do what we do.

Congratulations to the cast and company on a successful run in not just one, but two different venues, and all of the powerful moments that came with it!
