Why “Blackberry” Little Theatre?

Blackberries are pervasive in our area. Hillsides, fields, empty lots – these hardy plants grow vigorously. Blackberries tolerate poor soil, and begin to produce fruit in their second year.

We definitely hope that Blackberry Little Theatre will produce fruit. We know that it may take a while to see the product, but we are focused, frugal, and determined to harvest the many rewards of youth theatre, and share them with you.
