Key details at a glance

If you want to attend

Ticket information is handled through the company's site, with early bird tickets going on sale September 1. The listing points to a ticket link rather than stating prices, so check the site directly for current pricing, seat availability, and any access details for the Sésame Theatre.

If you want to get involved

The company's identity as a community theatre group means its productions rely on local participants, both on stage and behind the scenes. The site does not detail audition dates, crew roles, or membership terms, so anyone interested should watch for season announcements and contact the organization through its official channels.

Sponsorship is also part of how the season is supported, as shown by the IG Wealth Management partnership.
