Strollers In The News: “Starting Over”

Strollers is in the news once again. Jay Rath has written a nice article in the Isthmus this week, “Strollers Theatre Starts Over,” about our return, the upcoming “The Miss Firecracker Contest,” and the all-around success of “The Lieutenant of Inishmore.” Including a great story:

“I was working the box office, and on the first Friday a ticket-buyer mentioned that he had acted in the play,” says Trout. “That came as a surprise to me, because ours was the Wisconsin premiere of the play.

“As it turns out, he played the role of Donny on Broadway for over 300 performances. He enjoyed the show and said that the second scene was the best rendition that he had seen, including his own show. He saw the ad in the paper and drove down from Columbus where he was acting in the Johnny Depp movie.”

With so much good work, history, and tradition to build on and be thankful for it isn’t quite starting over so much as rolling out “version 2.0″ of our theatre company. As always, Strollers couldn’t operate without the support of the hundreds of volunteers, countless interested parties in the local press and business communities, and the thousands of patrons throughout the years.

THANK YOU.
