Small Time Theatre did not disappoint when they performed at the Grand Opening of the Giving Machines. Unbelievable strong voices, charisma and presence. They captivated us.
Small Time Theatre was founded in 2015 by Artistic Director, Tanya Woodruff. With the desire to find a theatre group for her children that was affordable, and also allowed them to participate in other extracurricular activities.
Small Time Theatre now gears up for its seventh season with increased community involvement, larger productions, potential theatre facilities, increased social media presence and advancement in all technical theatre areas.
Be sure to check out there upcoming performance Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat March 14 – 17, 2023 at Glenmore Christian Academy. Buy tickets
