We believe part of theatre education is teaching our actors to see many different types of theatre and to support other theatres in our community. One of our favorite local theatres to support is Texarkana Repertory Company or TexRep. If you did not know, Silvermoon Children’s Theatre and our love for theatre was born out of the exposure and education we got from being a part of TexRep shows and/or being in the audience for TexRep shows while we were growing up. Susannah and I are both part of the board of directors at TexRep and love being a part of what TexRep is doing. We love to encourage our actors and our community to share in the joy. Theatre is much more fun when it is shared! The excitement backstage at SCT when our actors know that a group of TexRep actors are in the audience cannot be explained! We also love being able to support our SCT actors, past and present, when they are cast in a TexRep show. Because we had SCT actors in the cast and it was such a family-friendly show, we gathered a GIANT group of SCT kids and families to “theatre flash mob” The Spongebob Musical on Sunday, May 5. We had the BEST DAY EVER! See our video here: SCT Spongebob Theatre Flash Mob The photo below is of our group who attended, but it’s not everyone, only who we could grab for the photo.
TexRep, our cherished local adult community theatre, has been a cornerstone of theatre excellence in the Texarkana arts scene for an incredible 32 seasons! We are truly blessed to have such a dedicated and talented group enriching our community with their outstanding performances. Their commitment to producing high-quality theatre deserves our ongoing support and appreciation. Let’s ensure TexRep continues to thrive for another 32 seasons…at least! For more information about their shows, upcoming events, and how you can get involved, visit their website at texrep.org.
This weekend, we have a fantastic opportunity to support our friends at (TexRep) as they showcase the amazing talent that has emerged from their two-week camp with a performance of Finding Nemo Jr. 🌊🐠Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 pm at the Stilwell Theatre.
We are especially excited because several of our own SCT kids have participated in this camp, and Susannah has been instrumental in helping run things! Supporting TexRep is not only a way to enjoy a wonderful performance but also an opportunity to strengthen our local theatre community. Again, theatre is much more fun when it is shared!
See you at the theatre for a journey under the sea with Finding Nemo Jr.! 🌟🎉 Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at Finding Nemo Jr Tickets.
See you at the theatre! (TexRep performs in the Stilwell Theatre in the Humanities Building on the Texarkana College campus between the Truman Arnold Student Center and the Library.)
