A Resurgence of Windmore Community Theatre

If you’ve ever wanted to get your feet wet in the world of community theatre, there’s no better time than right now! Not only has Windmore Community Theatre planned a fantastic season for the 2008/2009 year, it has recruited the efforts of committee members both dedicated and energetic to raise Windmore Community Theatre to a new level for the enjoyment of our community audience.  As the oldest running community theatre in Culpeper, we invite you to embrace the talents and treasures of individuals living and working among us.

On Tuesday, July 15 at Raven’s Nest Coffee House in Culpeper you will have the opportunity to meet many of these talented individuals during our first-ever Theatre Open House.  We invite adults and teenagers to learn first-hand about Windmore Community Theatre in the areas of acting, set design, production management, lights, sound, costume, make-up and advertising - just to name a few! 

No reservation is necessary. Simply stop by Raven’s Nest Coffee House between 5:30 and 7:00pm on July 15, enjoy some light refreshments, and find out if your interests and those of Windmore have a match made at the theatre!  For more information, please contact Co-Chairs Carolyn Gortler, 240.388.0717 or Tammy Barboza, 508.208.4655.
