The Blue Room Theatre Guild Happy Hour
What is the Guild?
The first Saturday night of each main stage performance The Blue Room Theatre hosts a private party for theatre Guild Members. At each party there will be food and drink, perhaps to match the spirit of the play being performed, and dessert at intermission. The parties start at 6:30 p.m. and the performances at 7:30 p.m.
How does this help the Blue Room?
As we head into our 23rd season, the Blue Room Theatre faces challenges as we work to make up for our lost City grant at the same time we are working to expand our performances, continue to build our Youth Company, and educational programs. The Guild serves a dual purpose - members have a fabulous evening at a private party watching great performances, while the creation of the guild serves as a primary fundraiser .
What does it cost? $200 per person.
If you are interested in becoming a Guild member, please, email Amber Miller at amber@blueroomtheatre.com for date and time.

THE HOW AND THE WHY
by Sarah Treem
directed by Amanda Detmer
On the eve of a prestigious conference, an up-and coming evolutionary biologist wrestles for the truth with an established leader in the field. This intimate and keenly perceptive play explores evolution and emotion, and the difficult choices faced by women of every generation.
THE UNDERSTUDY
by Theresa Rebeck
directed by Rob Wilson
Its the understudy rehearsal for a hit new Broadway play, but the set technician is high, the cocky movie star doesnt understand the script, and the understudy is surprised to find that the stage manager is his jilted ex-fiancée.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
by Charles Dickens
adapted by Roger Montalbano
directed by Amber Miller
The undeniably familiar tale of the spirit of redemption, told in a decidedly unfamiliar fashion. There are still plenty of prisons and workhouses in Scrooge and Marleys England but also a few electric guitars and drum kits.
HIR
by Taylor Mac
directed by Joyce Henderson
In this brand new dark comedy a soldier returns stateside after fighting in the Middle East to find a maelstrom back home, including a transgender brother and mother on a radically feminist mission. Neither the patriarchy nor gender norms stand a chance.
TBA
Directed by Matt Hammons
GOOD WITH FACES
by Hilary Tellesen
directed by Hilary Tellesen
In this comedic mystery, Dr Viland, an unconventional psychotherapist, has been stabbed to death by one of his patients, and the only witness suffers from facial blindness and cannot identify the suspect. At his funeral, five of his patients labor their emotional liberation from his mysterious death.
THE FAITH HEALER
by Brian Friel
directed by Joe Hilsee
In this darkly lyrical tale of a traveling faith healer roaming through Scotland and Wales with his wife and his manager, the author has created a metaphorical portrait of the artist as both creator and destroyer. Featuring Bill Johnson, Cynthia Lammel and Jerry Miller.
FRESH INK
by four local writers
The sixteenth annual installment of the Blue Rooms own celebration of theatrical creativity! Four writers are given one week to write a fifteen minute play which must include a specific list of items and occurrences. Four crews each get one week to bring the creation to life while the ink is still fresh!
