The Cache Theatre Company prepares for its 25th anniversary

The Cache Theatre Company's 24th season hasn’t even ended but preparations are already being made to celebrate its 25th anniversary in September.
Karlee Heaps, the president of CTC, is still planning its 2014-2015 season but likes the theme of paying homage to the past while welcoming the new.
“Next year we’re celebrating our 25th anniversary so we’re trying to blend new and old,” Heaps said. “We’re doing one of the first musicals they ever did, ‘Shenandoah’ and then we’re also trying to do a brand new musical but we’re still deciding."
“Shenandoah,” according to Jared Rounds, the head of the artistic department, is beautiful and will have a guest director.
“It's a beautiful piece that I think people in the valley will love to see,” Rounds said. “And I like that Floyd Salisbury, who was the original president of the company, is coming in to direct.”
According to Rounds, there is something that the company hasn’t done before and he hopes it gets people planning.
“This is the first year that we are announcing our complete season beforehand,” Rounds said. “So hopefully that will get our patrons planning around us.”
Traditionally the CTC had only performed musicals but, according to Heaps, the company is adding plays to its repertoire.
She said that she wants to continue the traditions that make CTC great and at the same time continue to inject it with new ideas.
“I think new ideas are what keep you alive,” Heaps said.
