WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Piknik Theatre just completed our 2023 Summer Season-filled with music, community outreach, educational summer camps, and more!
Our original production of Peter Pan was an incredible success-starring 30 local students, local adult actors, and 5 professional artists.
We commissioned a brand new musical called Patches by Ryan Jacobs. A blast for the whole family set with a live band of local musicians.
