“Who says that old men don't get anything done? Mike Edgren is an exception to that statement. For the first time in .....well, let's not count the years.....he has written a one act play!
Us, Them is a short play about 2 old geezers in their twilight years who spend their time sitting on a porch drinking beer ( the cheap stuff), watching cars go by, discussing....whatever.....and waiting for something to happen. And waiting. Lots of waiting. They have to wait since neither of them is motivated enough to get up. Or maybe their knees have locked? Or their shoelaces are too long?

This single-evening performance will be presented as a reader's theatre ( so nobody has to memorize lines- way too much effort), and minimal staging in the Lois Canton Studio Theater.
Come on by the porch. Have a beer. And a sit. Don't work too hard. We won't!”

Fantastic performances by these youth actors!!
Thank you to all the kids for their awesome work!

Today’s the day!! At 2pm!!
These kids have worked hard and it shows!!
Tickets still available!

Side Note to our patrons attending: The lobby is not owned by us, it is controlled by the city and it’s also a voting site. They already have the polling stuff set up and we can’t use the lobby. Our ushers will be at the front door, leading you through our studio theater and scene shop to get you to your seats. (Think of it like a quick tour before the show!) Thank You for your patience in this matter.

A lot of talented kids are performing for you on November 2nd at 2pm!

Both shows run about 1 hour and 15 minutes, Midsummerish (adaptation of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Nights Dream) will be first and then there will be a 15 minute intermission, and we will finish with the Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Washington Irving story)

They worked hard this summer on two separate workshops- some kids are even in both! We want their work to be seen by as many people as possible!

We hope to continue to grow our children’s program to make sure they have as much exposure to theatre and the performing arts as possible!

When they participate in theatre early in life, it helps grow their confidence, build self esteem and helps prepare them for challenges they may face in the future.

Not to mention they also will make friendships that last a lifetime, learn to work as a team, and become the future of community theatre because they develop a passion for it at an early age!

Don’t wait to get your tickets!! They might not be available at the door! The cost is only $10!

This might be the busiest the theatre has been in a long time!!
We have had something going on pretty much every weekend with our Halloween event and our Silver Foxes! Now November is following right along with three more amazing productions!!

November 2 at 2pm tickets $10

Double Feature: Midsummerish and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Kids showcase of their workshops they participated in! They performed two plays this last year out at Lunch by the River and Nekoosa Giant Pumpkin Fest but wanted to give people the opportunity to see the show on an actual stage! Midsummerish is a modern version of Midsummer Nights Dream and was an incredible introduction to Shakespeare! The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the tale of the headless horsemen and Ichabod Crane.

All material is slightly more challenging than our typical children’s book plays.

November 9th at 7pm cost: Free

We are getting a special treat at no cost to anyone!! Mike Edgren has written an original show and it will be a staged reading that will be heard by the public for the very first time! This will be starring Ken Pelo and Mike Edgren.

November 15th and 16th at 7pm, Cost $10 dollars.
We are having a director showcase directed by Seth Habhegger starring Beth Rohn-Habhegger and James Malouf. All are incredibly talented!!! Limited audience so get your tickets early!!
