JBT Family Reunion
Anniversary Celebration
February 15 -March 1
"Jewels Of The Jewel Box"
An Evening of Short Plays
This season we are celebrating our 25th Anniversary. Over the last 25 years, hundreds of talented actors and directors have created many memorable performances. They have all helped the JBT fulfill our mission in bringing quality entertainment to Poulsbo. We wanted to include some of these talented JBT family members and offer opportunities to new actors. The best way to do it was to curate an evening of short plays, each directed by a different director and cast. In this production, we have 8 different directors, 6 who are first time directing at the JBT. The cast includes 25 actors, 13 first -time JBT performaers. The plays include stories of jealous actors, quirky drama teachers, tortured writers & behind the scenes drama! Come celebrate the JBT and the wonderful world of live theater.
This showcase is a way to get multiple directors & actors involved. We look at this show as a reunion of our JBT family!
