Camarillo Skyway Playhouse

Type) Proscenium
Level) Community



1) Past productions include: Lend Me a Tenor, Man of La Mancha, The King and I, Footloose, Annie, Brigadoon.
2a) The theatre space is being used to put on a large scale musical. The stage is being used as a very formal way which is what proscenium stages are great for.
2b) They are not taking advantage of the fly space in this production because the stage is fairly bare. This seems to be an odd choice for a Proscenium but because it is community theatre I am not surprised.
3a) As you can tell from the caliber of the productions it clearly represents the mission statement because the actors are still honing their skills, making friends and just using this as an outlet for their love of theatre. Although it may not be professional theatre they are still trying their best to put on great productions.
3b)Their productions seem to reflect their mission statement by involving many people within the community to perform many different large scale musicals and comedies.
4) This seems like a great example of community theatre using the most common of the stages. Being on a Proscenium stage is a great idea because they are able to put on all the musicals that they love. Camarillo Skyway Playhouse does a great job at bringing theatre to their town and allowing many people to get a taste of theatre and a place for any theatre lover to have fun doing what they love.
