As this season of giving thanks is upon us, I am grateful for this community. We rely on many generous people who share their time, talents, and treasure to bring … Continued
QCT is about to go back in time – to the 1880s, in fact – and showcase life across the Midwestern prairies in Little House on the Prairie, The Musical! We’re thrilled to unveil the dynamic cast of 33 who will bring this story, inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” books to life. The … Continued
When I tell people that my next project is directing a musical of Little House on the Prairie, a frequent response is “They made a musical of that?” In a way, it shouldn’t be too surprising; after all, there’s a musical version of practically everything these days: The Addams Family, SpongeBob SquarePants, Grumpy Old Men….. … Continued

Where does theatre happen? Your first response would probably be: “on stage.” If you’re familiar with QCT’s spaces, you might get a little more specific: “in a proscenium theater” (such as the Barbara Rowell Auditorium), “in a black box” (like the Lab), “in the round,” etc. You’re right, of course– but if you think about … Continued

Wait, it’s August already? As the last few weeks have slipped away, so has my concept of time. Legally Blonde triumphantly took the stage to sold-out crowds in mid-July. We had precisely one day after the final performance before jumping into auditions for the next show. Last week we announced the brilliant cast for Calendar Girls as we were … Continued
We are delighted to expose the cast of Calendar Girls! This delightful and daring comedy will make its QCT debut September 9-11 and 15-18. The ladies are taking it all off—for a good cause!

Once a year I make the pilgrimage to the mecca of theatre, Broadway, in New York City, a magical place where the lights are brighter and spontaneous singing and dancing down the sidewalk is not uncommon. My last visit was in November 2019, and I had plans to return Summer 2020, but “you know what” … Continued
