Dear Community, Here we are, already at the tail end of March! The 21ten team has been working hard this month; putting up our third BareBones production, Adopt a Sailor, hosting our first annual General Auditions, casting Uncle Vanya, getting our film screening room up and running, bringing art to our walls with our first gallery opening, and gearing up for The Actors Conservatory to come in for their production of Hamlet this April. We are, as always, ever so grateful for your steadfast support as our theatre blooms beyond what had ever thought possible! |

Some words from Artistic Director Ted Rooney; I have been wanting to make it happen for over a year now, and I finally have an artist’s work up on our shabby chic brick wall! "Wall Art at 21ten” is on! Come this Friday for the opening of Jake Dorr’s paint brush work. I hope to have a different local artist displayed every other month or so. |

General Auditions A big thank you to everyone who helped make 21ten's first open general auditions a success! We saw 65+ auditioners, both in person and virtually. We are grateful for such a wonderful turnout, and appreciate everyone who joined us in fostering a welcoming environment. We got some kind comments from folks after auditions: "It was such a positive experience." "You all created such a supportive environment for the actors. It really was one of the best audition experiences I've had in a while." "I loved the snacks!" "I'm so glad you all are keeping the Shoebox alive and filled with high-caliber work!" |
