About:
Venture Theatre was born out of a dream Mike Eserkaln
had a few years back. That dream was to provide a place for local
playwrights to showcase their talents, and to give local theatregoers
an intimate venue to enjoy live productions.
Mike has owned ComedyCity, a local improv troupe, for
the last several years. A published writer himself, Mike's hope is to
help cultivate local talent and provide a place for them to flourish.
That place is Venture Theatre. Having visited several theatres
throughout the country, Mike brought together various ideas from those
places, along with his own creative flair.
An ever-growing legion of writers and theatre
enthusiasts meets several times a month to share their work, give
feedback and provide encouragement. This band of writing hooligans,
known as "Write Club," developed the first 2005/06 season of
productions and continues to generate 4-5 world premiere shows each
season.
