Auditions A Success!

The cast has been assembled for "Isn't She Lovely?" Last weekend's auditions had a small, but strong turn-out. Scripts have been e-mailed out. Next up in the process is work on marketing / getting tickets ready for the public. And then rehearsals will start January 11. Rehearsal blogs will begin at that time. The $29.95 ticket prices will include full dinner, dessert, and show.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I have my family, my home, my health, and now an opportunity to perform theatre at a high, professional level. Our first show will be "Isn't She Lovely?" - a romantic comedy about two guys trying to cover-up a little white lie that keeps snowballing out of control. I also had my birthday this week. I won't lie, I'm on the other side of 40, but I feel very lucky and youthful -- Theatre will do that for a person. I hope you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

2010 Season shaping up

I had a wonderful meeting with Sue Lamers, Director of Sales and Banquets, at Wave Bar and Ballroom yesterday. It looks like The Fox Dinner Theatre has a home! The first two set of show dates have been reserved: Feb. 17-19 and April 14-16. Shows to be announced soon!

Welcome

A new community theatre company is coming to the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin. It will be our mission to provide fun entertainment for the whole family, presenting comedies, mysteries, children's theatre, and musicals. And, we'll have a few surprises here and there. Starting in 2010, the Fox River Valley Theatre Company will make it a goal to produce five plays each year.

During productions, we will give regular blogs so that you can feel like you're at the rehearsals and backstage with the actors.

We will want to hear from you. What plays would you love to see? Your feedback is important to us.

We, as a community theatre, will not only make it our mission to serve the community through the arts, but as an active member in area non-profit's fundraisers for important causes.

The FRVTC is your theatre. We'll try to make you feel right at home.
