"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss With our hearts full of gratitude and sadness, we at Pickwick Players say goodbye to our kind volunteers and patrons. It has been a fulfilling eleven years, and we are so proud of what we have accomplished because of your dedication to the arts. From ANNIE in 2010 to FREAKY FRIDAY in 2020, we produced 40 musicals, comedies, and dramas in our facilities at Moxie Theatre, C3 Church, Off Broadway Live, and Carlton Oaks School. Thanks for the memories!

Annnnnnnnnnd... we're off! Our second 24 HOUR THEATRE team has begun. Playwright David Carnevale received his setting, genre, cast demographics, prop, character trait, and quote. Because he started writing at 7:00pm, his script is due at 1:00am. The director and actors will then have the rest of the night and all day tomorrow to rehearse, memorize, and design all production elements. We go live tomorrow at 7:00pm! Want to get in on the fun?
