THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES!
Here we go, venturing forth once again, this time into our 48th season. (We are getting sooooo close to 50 years of theater in Fort Worth!!!! Zowie!) We so enjoyed your company last season, and hope you'll tag along again this year. Because you truly are the reason we're still here. After the isolation we all endured in the pandemic years, we are back on the boards, we are still here, and with each season we chomp at the bit to bring you the best in original theater. While we are fortunate to be an outdoor theatre, making us able to open a bit earlier than indoor theaters following the pandemic, the outdoor performance presents it own set of problems. In the last two seasons, we have experienced a new challenge in the weather picture: where previously it seemed all we had to deal with was rain, now we have heat-outs to contend with. In the 47th Season we found it necessary and prudent to put into place a heat policy to assure the safety of our audiences as well as our performers and technicians. And in the interim between the 46th and 47th Seasons, Old Man Weather took an enormous toll on our physical plant, making major repairs necessary before being able to open the 47th Season. Whew! It's been a huge test of our stamina!
As we move forward into our 48th Season, we are bristling with ideas, and can hardly wait to share those with you. We wish we didn't have to say this, but it takes money to do the things we regularly do - putting on shows in the summer season and doing workshop-performances throughout the year, and so much more. So from time to time, we will ask for your help. We're counting on YOU to help us be true to our Hip Pocket roots and share some amazing adventures together.
After all, it's just not fun unless you're with us. Never has been . . . never will.
