This season, we’re exploring many stories from across the American experience. We’ll hear stories from those who knew this land first. We’ll explore how economic forces displace working-class people. And we’ll explore how race exacerbates that divide. We’ll introduce the idea of environmental legacy, and we’ll question the generational responsibility for the land we leave behind. We’ll see how being underestimated can become the ultimate advantage. We’ll look at what it means to be an outsider, and how quickly that can change. We’ll celebrate the beauty of ordinary life. For thirty-five years, we’ve been gathering in this space, finding common ground through shared stories. In a world that feels increasingly divided, that tradition feels more important than ever. Come home with us.

Cabaret (6/28/24-7/28/24)
A group of five people—James L. This, Scot Whitney, Linda Whitney, Phil Annis and Ronna Smith—got together in 1991 and decided that they wanted to produce a more challenging style of theater than was available locally. We wrote our mission statement, pooled our start-up capital—a whopping $400 cash—and began producing individual shows at the Washington Center Stage II, a “black box” venue that seated about 100. Seventeen months after beginning our capital campaign, we opened the doors on the beautifully remodeled State Theater. Suddenly we had a theater, a mortgage and a staff. Our budget jumped from $150,000 annually to $750,000. Our full-time staff increased from one to eight. To keep up with the bills and the building, we knew we had to increase income, so we planned to expand from a four-show season to a six-show, year-round season, but the first year we panicked and added two additional shows for a total of eight. And these were not small shows. It was as close as we ever came to failing as a result of driving all human beings involved to near collapse. Then… a bunch of years passed, during which no one has had the time to keep this up to date. But that’s how it started.
