2024: A Year In Review

With 2025 just a few days away, we want to close the chapter on this year and present our Talkback "Wrapped" for 2024.

Our past productions of 2024!

Starting off strong, we produced two productions this year; "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Jury Duty". While both began as passion projects, we never expected that both shows would be hits. MAAN sold out every night of its performances and raised over $600 for production costs! Jury Duty! brought an overwhelming audience to its intimate backyard stage! And despite the two shows being so different as a classic versus a contemporary piece, you were all enthralled. Truly, comedy knows no bounds of time!

Welcoming in our newest members!

Another incredible accomplishment of ours this year was adding two new members to our team. With Daryanna Barrett as our Set Designer and Isabella Arnett as our Resident Director, we're so excited to work with these two incredible creatives in the new year.

Daryanna Barrett primarily works in film as a Production Designer and Costume Designer, but is excited to branch out into the world of theatre with the Talkback Team.

Isabella Arnett is a jack-of-all-trades in the theatre world, working in acting and makeup and directing, but she's especially excited to get some more Directing chops with us this year.

We also have welcomed our company photographer, Ace McConnell, to the Talkback Team!

Our first ever Talkback!

This year we held a talkback after our performance of Jury Duty! so we could listen to our audience and hear out any concerns, questions and comments about the show. From doing this, we learned so much about how to make the shows more accommodating and enjoyable for our audience.

We're so excited to incorporate this feedback into our future productions and we can't wait to hold more of these discussions in the future.

What can we expect in 2025?

In this upcoming season, we're excited to kick things off with our production of Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde, directed by our very own Isabella Arnett. We're currently accepting auditions until January 30th and plan to put the show on in the spring of 2025.

Next, we have yet another installment of Jury Duty! coming your way, this time with a new theme! Stay tuned for further announcements on this.

Any lingering thoughts for 2024?

Overall, this entire year of theatre for us wouldn't have been possible without you all. Even more so because of Isabella Arnett and Keith Pinkston, this passion project turned theatre company has brought nothing but joy, ambition and an overwhelming excitement to see where things lead.

None of this would have been possible without you. Thank you.

See you in 2025!
