Summer Show!


Here at History Boy we are FINALLY excited to announce that we WILL be putting on a summer production.

We are thrilled with the opportunity to bring you The Burnt Part Boys.

Auditions for this show will be held Sunday March 21st at 3pm at the theatre.

With all that being said this show will look a little different this year. We will not be holding the production at our venue but at an outdoor venue for the safety of our patrons. While the official venue has not yet been decided we will be announcing it soon along with the dates of the production. We hope everyone is as excited as we are to be back!
