"We're very excited about the upcoming year of theatre," explains Artistic Director, Ken Hildebrandt. "Community is experienced in many ways: through social engagement & participation, through family, through friendship and through romantic love. Each play in our season touches on one of these important communal experiences, exploring its ups and downs in meaningful, entertaining and thought-provoking ways."

"Live theatre at Gallery 7 Theatre is about the community coming together to engage with stories that not only entertain, but stir the heart, challenge the mind and elevate the soul," concludes Hildebrandt. "This season is as much a showcase of compelling and impactful stories about community as it is a celebration of the important role theatre plays in our community. Come one, come all!"
