The WIP Theater Details
The Work-In-Progress Neighborhood TheaterSimilar to the "General Store" of old, The WIP Theater will cater specifically to Edison Park. Whereas theaters or similar venues located in tourist markets can get away with the same acts and shows every week, we will serve our neighborhood by rotating shows, styles and genres.1. We will engage Edison Park with theater like Oklahoma, Annie and Sweeney Todd. We will also present Shakespeare and An Evening of One Act Plays.2. Children's shows will also be a part of our roster, offering productions like Peter Pan, Wizard of Oz or Huckleberry Finn. Educational fare will also be on offer, including shows like, Science LIVE! or Opera 101.3. Since we are a troupe of (mostly) underground and small-hall artists, Stand Up Comedy, Variety Shows and Improv will be on the agenda.4. We will flesh out the week by creating and producing Trivia Nights and Game Shows, and offering small classes in improv, theater, public speaking and related arts.
