2022-23 Season: By the Numbers

That's a wrap on the 2022-23 Season!

This season has been remarkable and unique thanks to fan favorites (Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story and A Servants' Christmas) to exciting new world premieres (The Root Beer Lady, Diesel Heart, and The Defeat of Jesse James).

Let's examine the season "by the numbers"

  • Over 39,000 audience members attended the theater to engage in real-life stories from our local history.
  • The Defeat of Jesse James marked the 140th world premiere to make its History Theatre debut. 
  • 1,300 students from middle and high schools witnessed stories come to life on stage.
  • We celebrated Ron Peluso's retirement as Artistic Director after 27 years at History Theatre. 
  • Thank you to our 200 volunteers who assisted in our 108 performances
  • We sold 1,065 bottles of Root Beer during the nearly sold-out run of The Root Beer Lady
  • We collaborated with 150 artists, designers, and directors who worked on various productions throughout the season. 
  • We appreciate everyone who joined us this season, to support, celebrate and have fun. We'll see you in July at Glensheen!
