Our friends have arrived after a week long journey from Philadelphia!
We will introduce you to them in the next few weeks.

District Theatre Collective presented A Night of William Finn on October 29 to raise money for AVENUE Q. We had the pleasure to honour the American composer responsible for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Falsettos, Elegies: A Song Cycle, A New Brain, and other great musicals and song-cycles. Thank you to all who participated, attended and donated their time and money!
Here are some pictures from the evening:
Markian Tarasiuk, “And They’re Off”

Dorothy Caroll, “I Have Found”
Stephanie Sy, “The Earth Stopped Turning”
Nelson Bettencourt, “Joe Papp”
The cast of AVENUE Q will undergo rigorous training to learn how to bring the puppets to life. Here are some photos from our second puppet workshop led by one of our Puppet Directors, Tim Bandfield.
