* * * SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE * * *

We believe that live theater is something that everyone should have a chance to experience - so dress rehearsal for each of our four main productions this year will be designated a 'Share and Share Alike Show'. You share your time and enjoyment, we share some entertainment, we all share with those who need some help by our Food Bank donations. A dress rehearsal is just like the "real" show. It's a final runthough to make the actors confident. What better way to do that than to have an audience to react to you? So this is a chance to see the show for free. Just donate non-perishable items for the Food Bank. Join us and come enjoy!

* * * A NEW THEATER … AT LAST * * *

Now that we have a permanent home, we encourage you come visit us often. We are located at 95 Philadelphia Lane, in Jasper, GA. Philadelphia Lane intersects Old Philadelphia Road just behind the Jasper WalMart that is on Highway 515. Go to our "Contact" page on the website for a map and come see us. Whether you come to see a show, participate in a camp, class or workshop, volunteer your time, or are looking for a place to hold YOUR event, remember: If it's entertaining, it's Tater Patch!
