LIGHTING GRID PROJECT

The old Lighting Grid is down - the wiring has been pulled down... The crew from Union Electric has installed the New LED Track and power supply over the stage and theatre!

The old Lighting Instruments have been taken to their new theatre home! The new LED Instruments are stacked and waiting for the control cable to be installed and then we will begin to hang the NEW LED Lighting Grid.

Some touch up painting will need to be done, and painting the bright & shiny stainless conduit and track ... Plus, we will be rehanging the stage mics, speakers and monitors.

DONATIONS are still needed .... Support the Lighting Grid Fund!

Yes, we have the funding to install the new grid and power, and for the basic LED instruments for the stage, but we need a bit more to make the system all it can be for the best lighting at Spotlighters!

Please make a donation - $25, $50, $100 or more ... go to

Circle Mirror Transformation TICKETS
by Annie Baker

directed by Nick Cherone
staged managed/assistant directed by Jen Sizer

Performance Dates: Sept 15 - Oct 1, 2023 - Fri & Sat at 8pm; Sun at 2pm

THE STORY: ?In the small town of Shirley, Vermont, five strangers gather in a dance studio to embark on a unique journey together in a creative drama class for adults. The group moves through a series of acting exercises, ranging from the heartbreaking to the ridiculous. In this one small room, through these few seemingly trivial games, quiet wars are waged, emotional wounds are nursed, and healing is finally, slowly, able to begin.

There is no official rating system for live theatre.
We encourage you to use your judgment based on your child's age and maturity level.
