Join us Friday, September 25th at 7 pm on Facebook for a live Digital Cabaret! Hosted by Joel Hade reprising his role as “The Man in the Chair” and featuring the talents of some of our past performers, we are excited to present an evening of socially distanced music and fun.

We, like so many other theatre lovers, are feeling the pain of not being able to do the art form we love. In an effort to bring a creative outlet to our community, we are excited to present our first ever “Play-Write” Project, Carousel’s newest artistic endeavor.
