IN 2020 WE PRODUCE 6 PLAYS - 3 PLAYS WERE PART OF OUR MAIN STAGE SEASON AND 3 PLAYS WERE PART OF OUR 2ND STAGES SERIES. THE 2ND STAGES SERIES IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM THAT WE'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR SEVERAL YEARS THAT GIVES SEED MOEY TO LOCAL ARTIST TO PRODUCE A PASSION PROJECT PLAY AND WE MENTOR THEM THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF PRODUCING A SHOW. AJS ANNUAL PARTY WAS CONVERTED TO AN ONLINE PROGRAM AFTER COVID-19 HIT - AN ADAPTATION OF JOSEPH MONCURE MARCH'S POEM "THE WILD PARTY" AS PART OF THE DRAGON'S NEST INCUBATOR PRROGRAM.
