BEST SMALL THEATER TROUPE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and director Sue Birch’s small professional company in Plano keeps the accent on all things English in seasons packed with murder mysteries, farces and traditional holiday “pantos.” Production quality is consistently tickety-boo (as Brits would say), with fairy-tale panto shows designed like storybooks come to life (and scripts designed to make adults giggle, too). You’ll find authentic English snackies at intermission (try the prawn crisps). Shows frequently sell out. Elaine Liner<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
