The Evangola Community Theater is pleased to present its inaugural production opening in July.
The not-for-profit organization raises the curtain for its first performance: ‘Here We Sit,’ an
outrageous comedy featuring 16 quick-paced scenes. Opening is Thursday, July 10 at the
United Church of Christ, Main Street, Angola. “Here We Sit” runs for two weekends until
Saturday’s closing matinee, July 19.
With its first full-length show produced by the current generation of community theater in the
Evans/Angola region of the Southtowns, Steve Brachmann Manager of Evangola Community
Theater and the Director says “I’m beyond excited to watch audiences fall in love with Here We
Sit, a popular comedy with local audiences ever since its world premiere 2006 production by
Ghostlight Theatre in North Tonawanda. Being a small part of bringing live stage theater to this
corner of Erie County is a privilege I’m reminded of every time people tell me how excited they
are about our production. This two-act comedy is a hilarious look at everything we love and
laugh at in small-town community theater, which makes it a perfect choice for the first
full-length production in this new generation of community theater in Evans and Angola.”
This two-act comedy puts the audience on stage as they watch actors play members of a local
community showing their love for, and sometimes distaste of, stage theater in a tight-knit town.
Here We Sit is an outrageous comedy for community theatres that puts the audience on the hot
seat! A series of sixteen, quick-paced scenes illuminate the joys and tribulations of the modern
theatre-going experience.
Come enjoy an evening of laughs and hilarity with moments that remind us why we love
watching people we know on stage! (Note: Contains brief adult language that may not be

profit organization, performs before live audiences as part of their ongoing effort to meet the
demand for live stage theater presentations. Thank you for supporting this new generation of
community theater in Evans and Angola, NY!
