Greetings once again from the corner office.

I had hoped to get a blog in last week but lost track of time. My goal is to write something every week so that visitors to the website have something new to read and to address questions that are people frequently have. This week I will answer common audition questions that new (and seasoned) actors often have. Since this is a pretty broad topic, this week will be the first of several installments on the subject.

This week’s question is: SHOULD I AUDITION?

Got a cool item you’re wanting to give away to a fellow TCTA volunteer?  Having a yard sale with some cool old scripts? Have a dog named Hamlet that needs a good home? Looking for actors for the directing class you’re taking at Washburn?

Use this space as a great way to get the word out to the rest of the TCTA family!

Greetings and welcome to TCTA’s first blog page. I’m so excited to take part in the terrific opportunity to share my thoughts and insights about TCT’s artistic side. But much more importantly, I can’t wait to hear from you. Got a thought/question/comment/idea you’d like to share? Is there something you always wondered? Is there somethin that always bothered you? Love a program? Hate a program? Please share all of this with us. We stand ready to reply to any and all of your questions or ideas.

Since I plan on using this space as a forum to answer my most common questions, I thought I start off by answering one I’m getting almost daily. It concerns our upcoming production of Cabaret. The question is; “Which Cabaret are you doing?” (more…)

Our playreading committee works hard to sort through hundreds of shows each year to develop our season.  If you have any plays or musicals you’d like to suggest for consideration, please tell us here.

We want to keep our website fresh and full of useful information for you. Please, let us know if you have any suggestions.

We love keeping track of past volunteers who have moved on. Please, update us if you know about someone who used to be in the TCTA family and is doing something exciting outside of Topeka!  We’d love to know!

I’ve had lots of questions from people asking me how to discontinue receiving the Encore in the mail now that they are getting the Eblast.  First of all, let me say “thank you” for making the switch. Not only will you be saving TCTA money and helping the environment, but you will also be getting the lastest info from us.  So, to be taken off our mailing list, just give the box office a call at (785) 357-5211 or e-mail Donna@topekacivictheatre.com.  Let the box office know if you want to discontinue all mailings (which would include audition notices and season brochures) or just the Encore mailings.  Thanks!

You’ll need to get registered before you can contribute to the blog. Please, use the links along the right hand side of the web page. Have fun!
