Caldwell Theatre Company's Open House
Caldwell Theatre Company announced that it will open its doors on December 14th from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. In its continuing effort to embed itself in the Boca Raton, and Palm Beach County community, South Florida's longest running professional regional theater will provide patrons the opportunity "to see behind the curtain, and experience the magic of theater."
"In any of these types of Open House opportunities, "said Clive Cholerton, Artistic Director of Caldwell Theatre Company, "I want to be certain that people leave knowing they have an ownership stake in Caldwell Theatre Company. Which they do! The best regional theaters act as a reflective soundboard for the community in which they exist, and at Caldwell Theatre Company we strive for nothing less."
The day long event will give both current and future patrons the opportunity to explore the backstage area of the magnificent Count de Hoernle Theatre, acquaint themselves in greater detail on the current season offerings, and seek out volunteering options.
"Something magical occurs when we bring patrons into the prop and costume shop and they see up close how much time and detail goes into creating one of our costumes," said Patricia Burdett, Producing Director. "Invariably their future experience is enhanced by their newfound knowledge."
Featured at the events will be cast members from the upcoming productions of The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, Working, excerpts from their popular Story Telling Series, and as a special treat, South Florida playwright, Christopher Demos Brown will be on hand to discuss his upcoming Caldwell World Premiere, Our Lady of Allapattah.
"It will be a wonderful way for all the potential theater goers who have driven by our theater and wondered, what on earth goes on in there," continued Cholerton. "Well wonder no more; we want to let the secret out of the bag."
