Goes Wrong
Act II is about to begin and none of the actors or crew are where they belong when the curtain opens!
Bringing down the house!
Lots of thoughtful engineering took place to ensure that the walls fell at the right time and in the right place. No actors were harmed in the production of this show!
The cast and crew for this years UIL One Act Play are already hard at work to produce their contest show, BOB, A Life in Five Acts by Peter Sinn Natchreib. The Public performance will take place at 7:00pm on March 2nd in the Legacy PAC! Thanks to Kayla Parker for the amazing logo!

Why do you love theatre? - As corny as it sounds, I truly think theatre is magical and just the coolest experience ever. Whether I’m performing or watching, I’m having the best time. I’m particularly fond of performing though because nothing makes me happier than being able to give others the excitement and wonder I feel when watching shows!
What is a favorite experience you can tell us about your involvement with Legacy Theatre?
After our first full run-through of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the park, we all ran out to meet Mr. Ferman, he asked us how it was, and we all unanimously agreed that it was just so much fun. That moment has always been really special to me, I feel like it bonded us as a cast and made everyone more excited than nervous for the rest of our performances!
