Theater 22 is Still Entertaining Us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you know, this year Theatre22 took the summer and fall off to adapt to the changes in our local economy, to work on our long-term strategic plans, and essentially take the time needed to program thoughtfully and consciously with our community driven resources.

At the Fremont Players opening of Puss in Boots, much of the audience, adult and child, came ready and knew what to expect. In England, over the Christmas holiday season you have your pick of dozens of panto productions in towns and cities. Here in Seattle your choice is easy—Puss in Boots.
The holiday season is a wonderful time of year for community theater groups. The crowds are generally large and appreciative.
