We can't take everything with us so we will be having a Theatre Sale on Saturday, October 7th at 8:00am lasting until 4:00pm and will be selling costumes to props, furniture to flats. Some of the larger items include a stand up freezer, upright piano, a Colortran I-96 Dimmer Rack, and 18 Stageright platform risers. Credit cards will be accepted. A few items will need to stay until after our final production in December.
