Student Season Ticket $25
Single admission $15. ($18 for musicals and Shakespeare productions)
Student single admission $10 ($12. for musicals and Shakespeare

Please note that in order to make more seats available to new patrons,
we now offer a Wednesday night performance for which we will not
sell season tickets. Of course, season ticket holders who need to
change from their regular night for any reason will also be able
to come to the Wednesday night performance.
Our theater is small, and frequently more people wish to see a play
than we have seats. If you are unable to attend a performance, please
call the box office to let us know. Seats unclaimed by ten minutes
before performance time may be sold. If you are running a little
late, call the box office and we will hold your seat until curtain.
Patrons who arrive after the performance begins will not be seated.
Stand-by Seating
Our productions often sell out, but because of last-minute cancellations
and no-shows, we always have some seats available for stand-by patrons.
Come to the theater at least half an hour before curtain and put
your name on the stand-by list. The earlier you come, the higher
your name will be on the list. Patrons who come on stand-by the
first weekend almost always are seated, and most second-week stand-by
patrons also are able to get in.
Theatre 98 is always looking
for technical talent (set-building, costuming, props, etc.) as well.
Jonne Thornton, Technical Director.
Brenda Hedstrom, Production Manager.

2008 Season
Quilters
Musical by Molly Newman and Barbara
Damashek
Directed by Edith Hinrichs
Performances: August 22 - 24 & 27 - 31 - See ticket info
above.
All Showtimes are 8:00pm for evenings
and 2:30pm for Sunday matinees.
Synopsis: Ostensibly the story of a pioneer woman and her
six daughters, QUILTERS blends a series of interrelated scenes into
a rich mosaic which captures the sweep and beauty, the terror and
joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of frontier life. Illuminating
stories contained in various patches or "blocks" with music, dance
and drama, the action depicts the lot of women on the frontier:
girlhood, marriage, childbirth, spinsterhood, twisters, fire, illness
and death. But, with this, there is also love, warmth, rich and
lively humor and the moving spectacle of simple human dignity and
steadfastness in the face of adversity. In the end, when the various
patches are assembled into one glorious, brilliantly colorful quilt,
the effect is both breathtaking and magicaland a theatrical masterstroke
which will linger in the mind and memory long after the house lights
have dimmed.
