Community Theatre of Emporia

Update: The Follies

Click to Enlarge The CTE Follies had a fabulous first night! We had a great lineup of talented people doing entertaining things.If you are not familiar with our annual season kick-off show, here’s how it works:

• CTE consorts with talented people from our community to put together a show.
• It is, by nature, loosely structured, off the cuff and really flexible
• The performers always ask, “What do you want me to do?” and we always answer, “Whatever you want to do.”
• When you come you’ll see:
  • Seasoned performers
  • First time performers
  • Combinations of the two
• There are multiple goals:
  • Entertain the Audience.
  • Boost the awareness and membership in Community Theatre of Emporia.
  • Allow our current membership the opportunity to renew.
  • Have a great time doing the above!
  • Preserve and enhance the Arts Community

We are happy to report that things went great and we met most of our goals. We really wanted to see more of you members there. We’ll see you tomorrow. Right?

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
