OUR 2022 SHOWS

 

June 17 – July 31, 2022

by Craig Ester, directed by Ashley Lyle
It’s the week before Senior Prom, and friends Des and Bell have been dancing around their relationship for years. Will they make it official and go to prom together, or will their differences continue to get in the way?   DANCE WITH ME ONLINE PROGRAM

 

 July 1 – August 14, 2022

by Meg Berger, directed by Sarah Hawkins Rusk
When two costumed party characters show up to work at the same party, they see themselves as rivals and fight for control. But soon they find common ground in the challenges of modern day survival.  IT’S MY PARTY ONLINE PROGRAM

 

 June 11 – August 14, 2022

This show uses input from the audience… and even gives willing volunteers a chance to get up on stage… as the performers make up everything right on the spot. Extra fun for celebrations with guests of honor like birthdays, anniversaries, etc, Improv is sure to be fun for any gathering!

THINGS TO KNOW

*Driveway Theatre can be performed in driveways, backyards, parking lots, park pavilions… any clear, flat, outdoor area. Required performance space 16 feet deep, 20 feet wide.   Audience or host provides seating… chairs, blankets, whatever you’d like.

* Our performers will not have microphones.  They are professional performers who know how to project, but be aware that if your crowd is too big or is in a noisy area those in the back will have a harder time hearing.  Please plan accordingly

* Rain Policy.  We don’t melt in rain!  Shows will not be cancelled or rescheduled for light rain.  Heavy rain or lighting storms may result in a rescheduled show. We can’t control the weather.  If you can, make sure it’s beautiful on the day of your performance!

*We require at least two free parking spaces.  Let us know if there are any specifics about where to park.

*Staff and performers will show up appx 15 minutes before performance time to set up
