IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Mirrorbox Theatre Supporters,
It is with deep regret and sadness that the Board of Directors for Mirrorbox Theatre announces that our organization will cease to operate by the end of the year. Unfortunately, we’ve recently uncovered financial issues that make it no longer possible to sustain our work in the way our community deserves.
We are grateful to have been part of this community, and we want to offer our sincerest thanks to everyone who has demonstrated their support for us over the years. We know that many artists have found a community with us, and we are grateful to have been part of so many lives.
While this decision has not been easy, we have had to accept that it is time for us to say goodbye and so we have decided to offer one last show. Our monthly improvised soap opera comedy, The Rapids, will take the stage at Giving Tree Theater on Wednesday, November 19, at 7:00 p.m. We hope you will join us as The Rapids and Mirrorbox Theatre take a final bow together.
Unfortunately, this announcement does also mean that we will not be producing DIE HARD...is a Christmas movie in December 2025. We appreciate everyone who made us part of their holidays over the last few years, and we wish you all the best this season and encourage you to check out the offerings of our fellow community theatres. We are blessed to know that even though our time is over, the performing arts are going to continue to thrive in our area.
Thank you again to everyone who has supported us, and we hope that you will join us as we say a final farewell on Wednesday, November 19.
Sincerely, Chelsea White, Board President, on behalf of the Board of Directors
"THE RAPIDS" SERIES FINALE!
For 9 seasons, in each monthly “episode,” presented live, greedy industrialists, horny lovers, corrupt politicians, and other big personalities have kept getting into hilarious trouble based on audience suggestions, but all good things come to an end and our denizens of The Rapids are looking to move onto a life outside the public eye. The series finale will feature our "All Stars" who are past improvisers returning as the denizens of The Rapids as we bid farewell to The Rapids in this special holiday double episode with one 15-minute Intermission.
