Theatre in the Streets Festival

It's time for the Prompting Theater's 9th Annual Theater in the Streets Festival!!!

This Saturday, April 17th, from noon until 5 pm, theater is taken from the stage into the streets.  All shows begin on the hour, and are free to all, though of course donations are welcomed (proceeds go to benefit the Prompting Theater, the local CU theater company comprised of adult actors with developmental disabilities).

This Festival will take place in Downtown Urbana, on Broadway (in between Main and Elm, next to the parking garage).  It is also a proud participant in 40 North's Boneyard Arts Festival, helping to bring focus to all sorts of arts and artists in the downtown Urbana area on this Saturday.

This year's line-up:

  • Noon:  Central High Drama presenting excerpts from "Suessical the Musical"
  • 1 pm:  Miss Place(d) presenting "Dark Moon Manifesto"
  • 2 pm:  Zoo Improv presenting improvisational comedy
  • 3 pm:  The Prompting Theater presenting "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Get Lost"
  • 4 pm:  Rantoul Theater Group presenting excerpts from "A Few Good Men" and scenes from their Studio Theater shows.

Prior to the Prompting Theater's show, raffle tickets for $1 each will be sold.  Winner could win a surprise package sometime during the Prompting Theater's show.

All shows are good for all ages.
