Did you know that when taking a DNA test, you and your siblings can have differing amounts of certain ethnicities? is is because of genetic inheritance and its naturally random way of dishing out the gene percentages. So, if you and your brother are partly of Scandinavian heritage, you could be 20 percent Scandinavian while your brother could be 45 percent.

We hope all of you who attended the show enjoyed it as much as we did in presenting it. Now on to a new production!

Whether you would like to try an acting role or would prefer to assist in the technical, marketing, set design, stage management and/or host or hostess positions, we would be delighted to have you participate.
