In its own words
This year was the 35th anniversary of Theatre Unlimited Performing Arts. We put on a musical called Mamma Mia. All shows were sold out before rehearsals even began. We added an extra performance to celebrate our 35th Anniversary. We invited past Board members to join us for the performance. A celebration after the show took place in the lobby. A very successful evening.
