Returning to the Arts: Sharing the Experience with Care
The start of a new season brings with it the magic of live performance—the thrill of music, the joy of storytelling, and the sense of community that comes from gathering together.
This year, we also want to take a moment to reflect on what it means to be an audience member. Live theater is a partnership between those on stage and those in the seats. The experience is richer, warmer, and more meaningful when we all share the same spirit of respect and care.

Pirates of Penzance: Comedy Brought Back to Its Roots
Without elaborate set changes or mechanical effects, the spotlight fell squarely on the cast—and they delivered. The performers leaned into the humor with razor-sharp comedic timing, playful sarcasm, and a knack for breaking the “fourth wall” to draw the audience into their antics. The result was a performance that felt fresh, alive, and irresistibly funny.
