And… Cut.

Well, this isn’t the post we wanted to make but after a short but very eventful run, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our theater company—for now.

We weren't around for decades. We didn't have a long history or a huge catalog of productions behind us. But in the time we were here, we got to do something we cared deeply about: we got to make theater happen.

We got to put people onstage who might not otherwise have had the opportunity. We got to tell stories we believed were worth telling. We got to meet wonderful people, learn a lot, make some mistakes, and create memories that we’ll carry with us.

To everyone who auditioned, acted, directed, designed, built, painted, volunteered, donated, bought a ticket, shared a post, came to a show, or supported us in any way: Thank you. You made this worth doing. 

The truth is that a theater company can't run on passion alone. It takes people willing to give their time, skills, ideas, and energy to the work that happens both onstage and behind the scenes. We are only 4 people, we simply didn't have enough man-power to sustain everything that needed to be done.

But here's the thing: We don't want this to be goodbye forever. We want to come back, and if we are going to reopen our doors someday, we need your help to make that possible.

We are looking for people who are willing to get involved—not just as actors, but as the people who make a theater company actually function.

We need volunteers interested in:
-Stage management & production
-Set construction, painting & props
-Lighting & sound
-Costumes, makeup & hair
-Marketing & social media
-Front of house & ticketing
-Fundraising & sponsorships
-Board & administrative work
-Photography, videography & graphic design
…and all the other little jobs that somehow turn into a theater production.

If you want to see us come back, this is your opportunity to be part of making that happen.

Send us a message. Tell us what you'd like to help with, what you're good at, or even what you'd like to learn. You don't have to know everything. You don't have to have theater experience. You just have to be willing to show up and help build something. The more people who step forward, the more realistic it becomes for us to reopen.

So this isn't necessarily our final curtain. Maybe it's an intermission.

If you'd like to help bring us back, we want to hear from you. Reach out on our socials or drop us an email at thewmperformingarts@gmail.com

Until then, thank you for being part of our short, very chaotic, and very wonderful little chapter.

We'll see you when the curtain rises again.
