"These shows rival, just from the talent they get here, it's amazing," Evalie said. "I really liked the Sherlock Holmes show they performed here, last season. This season, I loved the Red Velvet Cake [War], it was hilarious! It's just so personable here, and when the show is over you can come out and talk to the cast."

People attended in iconic, rock n' roll fashion and let loose on the dance floor, wondering what new shows the theater would produce for the 2024-2025 season.

Clint Walker, scenic designer for SLT, and his fiancé, Silas Crisp, said everyone goes all out for the season reveals, getting in theme and having a great time.
