“The term “clear space” refers to a focus on the process, knowledge, and humanity of arts performance: the idea that we find ourselves in what appears on the stage.”   clear space theatre company

The Clear Space Theatre Company launches its 100th production on September 21st through October 7th, with the comedy Shirley Valentine, starring Equity actress Elaine Faye.  This one-woman tour de force is an intimate moving and hysterical look at the life of a British housewife who discovers that her humdrum existence isn’t quite as dead as she thought.

She spends her days talking to the kitchen walls and preparing dinner for her grumbling husband.  When an opportunity to travel to Greece arises, she hesitantly seizes the moment….

On Sunday, 9/23, stay for a chat with cast crew and creative team.

Over the eight seasons of bringing live theatre to the beach, Clear Space has produced a diverse collection of musicals, dramas and comedies, including Annie Get Your Gun, South Pacific, Fiddler on The Roof, and The Crucible.

This past season, Clear Space presented Blithe Spirit, My Fair Lady, Annie, Little Shop of Horrors, and Cabaret, as well as toe-tapping musical revues to its new location at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.  A total of 8  theater performances per year.

Clear Space also begins its 8th season with expanded Arts Institute classes for children grades 1 – 12, as well as classes for adults including the popular Legends class for the 50+ set.  Their 5 Musical Theatre Summer Intensive programs for children in grades 1 -12 broke enrollment records.

And, their thrift store, Encore, located next to Arby’s on Route 1, (Coastal Highway), is having a banner year with wonderful array of donated merchandise at the right price.

What lies ahead for calendar year 2013 is an impressive line-up of shows that includes The Mousetrap, 9 to 5: the musical, La Cage Aux Folles, A Little Night Music….all these are must see productions!

The company is under the leadership of a committed Board of Directors, chaired by Kay Ryan, and Dough Yetter, Artistic Director, well known in the community for his musical and acting talent.  Clear Space is grateful for the continued loyalty of the public and for their strong base of volunteers.

Performing arts exist for the community and only survives with their support.

Have a great day!!
