Some past shows...
A Brand New ShoeIrs CAST


Beatniks has been going through a sort of facelift. We now have, with the assistance of Hammond Community Theatre, risers for the back row of seating!  So every seat in the house is a terrific one. Rip and Bonnie have been hard at work painting the risers and floors. Thanks to the extended efforts of the Beatniks Babes shows...we have been able to purchase small tables, for any dinner shows that come our way. We also now have a new heating and air conditioning system to make your theater experience comfortable.
Now notice the new commodes! Donated by Koreman Kitchens and Baths, and Gerber. Thanks to Don Taylor for his help in this endeavor!

We would like to thank all the many volunteers that help to make this venue a reality.


Meeting occasionally at Beatniks is the Writer's Workshop
Writer's Workshop now meets occassionally at Beatniks. We have heard from many people who would like to be involved with writing skits, comedy, or whatever. Here's you chance to get together with others wanting to explore the same. Contact comedien Sharon Harbert at 765-1740 who oversees the workshop. Or email beatniksonconkey@sbcglobal.net. Come be a part, get your ideas out there. There is NO COST...just brain work.
