As the season grows cold and our heaters start to crank, we watch in wonder as the magical JOSEPH RILEY of resident company, The Brainsurgeon Theater turns our back theater into a forest full of trees, moss and magic. Joseph has created over 10 sets for various shows at the Prop Thtr in the last years and he has upped the standard immensely and taught us all how far you can go without either demanding disproportionate budgets or sacrificing the play for the design. This may be his most ambitious project here yet, I urge all to come take a look and enjoy Part 2 of "And He Flew Over The Forest" Brain Surgeon Theater
November 13th will be a very special "Wild Party Variety Hour" as Silent Theatre Company pulls out some of the great hits of their past, an evening to get a taste of who they are - especially for those who have missed some of their great full shows. This is a very special opportunity: Silent Theatre's Variety Hour
New Plays get their days at Prop in November: "1001 Dates" at 2pm on 11/7, Babes with Blades reading on 11/13 at 1pm and our dear longtime residents Factory Theatre read next season's "Easy Six" at 7pm on 11/23 ...

We are also preparing our spring Blockbuster "No Roosters In The Desert" by Kara Hartzler which Tanya Saracho will direct as part of a cooperative rolling world premier with Borderlands Theater in Tuscon, Arizona and El Circulo Teatro in Mexico City.
Look out, in December, for a performance by Association House's "After School Matters" Voces Anxiosas program, directed by Luis Crespo (who was also featured in our fall show: "Debris Of The Prophet" at Prop Thtr and Truman College) and watch out for a musical benefit as the holidays bust in...
