We’re All In This Together – a fitting description for this community college theatre.  Our semi-professional performances are collaborations between the college staff, students, faculty, alumni, theatre professionals, and volunteers – lots of them.  Over 1,000 people a year participate in our productions, either backstage, onstage, in the orchestra or handing out programmes.  Come to a show and you may see someone you just saw in a movie, or your neighbor, your friend, your teacher, your camp counselor, your realtor, your doctor, or the waiter from your favorite restaurant.  These performances, along with several professional touring companies all add up to the Kelsey Theatre season.  But without you we could not “do theatre”, because an audience is the most important part.  So thank you for doing your part, and we hope to see a lot of you this year – because we’re all in this together - M.
