What a fantastic evening at Corbetton Church! 🎭 Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for Setting the Stage: An After 5 Arts Salon with Beckie Morris, co-presented by Dufferin Arts Council and Museum of Dufferin.

Beckie was wonderful, giving us a captivating look at the how of set design - where she finds inspiration, how ideas become sets, and the mechanics and craftsmanship behind creating the worlds we see on stage. Truly a WOW experience!

A special thank you to Maple Grove, Zehrs Orangeville, and Sobeys Orangeville for sponsoring the evening and supporting the arts in our community. 🌟

But theatrical magic isn't just about imagination. It’s also about budgets, tight spaces, props, lighting, problem-solving, and plenty of creative thinking.

Come behind the scenes as Beckie shares stories and insights into the creative process, and the practical magic that brings a production to life!

Enjoy w**e or b**r and appetizers, connect with fellow arts lovers, and see Theatre Orangeville from a whole new perspective.
