Ampersand Cafe

Please join us at Uptown Stage to celebrate the hard work our Ampersand Theater Troupe has put in during our summer intensive!

The theme of our intensive has been doing new things, and we have done a ton of new things— tap dancing, harder choreo, playwriting, and even customer service. This intensive showcase has a coffee bar theme, where our artists will serve all patrons a drink and a snack. The performance includes scenes written by our artists based around life situations and social and problem-solving skills. 

We have three casts. Each cast will be performing at one performance and hosting another performance. Please look below to see when your cast member is performing!
