The genesis of
The Valley Theatre can be traced back to years of us coming up with great
ideas, planning out how to accomplish them and promptly forgetting about them
as soon as the commercial break ended.
Then one seemingly ordinary day, in a car ride to Corning , Amanda turned to me and said, “We
should start a theater and our first production should be She Loves Me.” Maybe it was
the lack of a TV distraction or just an attempt to avoid listening to Alison’s
music, but for whatever reason this one stuck.
So
here we are, The Valley Theatre’s first production. Welcome. She
Loves Me has always been one of my favorite shows, so when it was suggested
that I take the reigns for my directorial debut I eagerly accepted. From the very beginning this production has
had a very grassroots feel to it. We
basically had to start from scratch by gathering costumes and props; making
sets and furniture and drafting my mom to be our cook. I am very proud of what we have accomplished
and am eager to find out what the future holds for The Valley Theatre. I hope you enjoy our premier production as
much as I do.
Thanks for coming.
