Why Indie Theatre?: Heather Curran





 In celebration of Indie Theatre Week (July 23 - August 1, 2011),
we asked members of the OOB community to answer this question,
"Why Indie Theatre?"








Freedom!  The Gallery Players holds a unique position in the Indie theater world.  Having a home where we audition, rehearse, build and perform allows us the freedom to program an ambitious season of revivials and new works.  I love hearing from people "how are they going to pull that off?" about The Who's Tommy or Take Me Out or many of other shows in our season.  Looking forward to our 45th season starting this September.
