Twin Masks Performing Arts Center-TMPAC

I got to attend the opening night performance of the first show at this theater in Twinsburg. I'll be honest, my expectations were low. The theater operates out of a storefront next to a laundromat, and they are just starting out.However, what I saw on Friday was extremely promising. The show was low budget, yes, but the script choice was impeccable. Avow is a beautiful, challenging, and timely piece of theater and it was admirably performed. Not at all the safe, hokey selection I would expect from a theater still in its infancy. TMPAC has some balls, as it were, and I look forward to seeing a community theater tackle more provocative shows like this one.The space itself is large and well maintained with newly renovated restrooms and comfortable seating. They don't offer real concessions yet, but I did see that cookies and bottled water were made available to patrons free of charge (though donations were accepted).

I saw the thought proving show The Orphans, at Twin Masks Theatre. This is a very intimate performance space which enhanced the production and enabled the audience to be right in the action. The actors, who were all exceptional, were easily understood and heard, which isn't always the case in larger theaters. This up and coming theatre is something you must experience.
