Widening the scope

What to see, where to learn, how to audition, what is out there in the way of performing arts? As it turns out, there is much more than you might realize. For many of us, Wenatchee is a small place with some big city Broadway dreams.

Of Endings and Goodbyes

Our final improv show is Friday, and we say goodbye to some of our favorite players as they move away and move on. We also say goodbye to the Pressroom Theatre, which will no longer be a theatre space in the future. Will this be the last improv comedy show ever in Wenatchee?

What do I say??

If you have thought about trying some improv, but are worried about "What do I say"? Fear no more! This type of theatre is not about saying the right thing at all, as we have discovered.
