ICS Season 11 Impact Report Final - Flipbook - Page 4
SEASON AT A GLANCE
Season 11 began with tremendous promise, marked by our vibrant
Season Opening Event and the anticipation of an unrestricted, full
season ahead, setting the stage for a journey toward success.
The Theatre kicked off the season with the uproarious musical,
"Pageant – The Musical Comedy Beauty Contest." Audiences were
captivated by the production's campy charm, appreciating the skill
exhibited by the male cast in portraying women without resorting to
traditional drag. The audience crowned a different winner each
night, adding an interactive and dynamic element to the show. The
word-of-mouth buzz surrounding the musical resulted in nearly
sold-out performances throughout the entire run.
Following that, we introduced "Rotterdam" to our audience, a
production that had previously made waves off-Broadway but was
new to our local scene. The narrative delved into the journey of a
lesbian couple, one of whom decides to begin the process of
transition to becoming a male thereby creating ramifications that
deeply affected all of their relationships.
