Memorable Performances from 2021

What a year! Theater returned and, while difficult and ever-changing, our theater-going habit revived and we couldn't be more grateful. In 2020, when we asked our community about plays we've seen, it was "What was the last play you saw before everything shut down?" This year, we got to ask, "What stood out? What will you remember?" Below, find this year's list, lovingly compiled from the Theater in Asylum community.

Katie, Theresa, Ryan, and Gilbert at The Lion King!
