JOIN US FOR A WILD THEATRICAL ADVENTURE!
We are so excited to announce our first ever 24 Hour Musical, a creative explosion to serve as a fundraiser. The theatrical marathon assembles young actors ages 12-18, plus a creative team of theatre professionals at 7PM on the evening prior to the performance. Everyone must be ready to perform in front of a live audience on the following day at 7PM.
Participants will stay overnight at the Throckmorton Theatre, during which we will have 24 hours to announce, stage, choreograph and learn the songs to a surprise musical! This year’s event will commence on April 5 with a special one-time performance on April 6 at the Throckmorton Theatre.
