This company, as first time Palm Awards entrants, presented ten productions that were of a consistently high quality. They chose shows that were not the community theatre norm, a little alternative and not well known, but very entertaining. Their company operates from a more restrictive space than most theatres in a commercial area that displays creative thinking to make it work. They appeared 14 times in our category finalists this year.
