Bryce Carson
We are Solarium Productions, a non-profit youth theatre group. Our directors, actors, and designers are all in grades 9th-12th. Auditions are currently open to all high school students in the community, and we hope to be able to collaborate with as many people as possible. Our very first production was Alice in Wonderland, performed in August of 2015. The show sold over 1,100 tickets for three performances and we were able to donate the proceeds to the Boys and Girls Club, an after-school program for school age children. Our second show was Agatha Christie's Go Back for Murder, again benifiting the Boys and Girls Club.
