🕯️🎭 The gaslights have dimmed, the secrets have been revealed, and the final curtain has fallen on "Angel Street (Gaslight)"

And just like that…the Manningham home is quiet once again. ❤️. What an incredible journey this has been!

Players Workshop has been honored to bring this powerful psychological thriller to life. To our extraordinary cast, dedicated crew, fearless director, and every volunteer who helped make this production possible, we cannot thank you enough. And to our audiences…WOW. 🥹

Your applause, kind words, emotional reactions, and overwhelming support reminded us exactly why community theater matters. You laughed with us, gasped with us, questioned everything with us, and hopefully left the theater with something to think about.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we couldn't let this production close without acknowledging the importance of the story we just told.

Behind closed doors, we never truly know what someone may be experiencing. Sometimes the most frightening monsters aren't hiding in the shadows. Sometimes they're the ones convincing us that the shadows aren't really there.

💜 To anyone who has experienced domestic violence or emotional abuse: You deserve to feel safe, heard, believed, and supported.

And while our gaslights may have gone out, we hope the conversations this production sparked will continue to shine. From the bottom of our theatrical hearts, thank you for making "Angel Street" a production we will never forget.

Until the next curtain rises…take your bow, Angel Street. You've earned it. 👏❤️



💜 If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) serves Burlington and Southeast Iowa with free, confidential support, advocacy, and safety resources.

🎭✨ Behind every great performance is an even greater team!

As the final curtain falls on Players Workshop's production of Angel Street (Gaslight), we want to shine a little light on the incredible people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the Manningham home and its chilling story to life! 🕯️

While our talented cast captivated audiences under the stage lights, an equally dedicated crew was working their magic behind the curtain.

From the vision and leadership of our director, to the construction and transformation of our Victorian set, the eerie glow of the gaslights, the carefully selected costumes and props, the sounds that sent chills down your spine, and even the program and poster graphics that helped bring this production to the public...every detail mattered!

Theater is truly a labor of love, and productions like Angel Street remind us that it takes an entire village of passionate, creative, and hardworking volunteers to turn a script into something extraordinary.

Take a look through these photos and meet some of the talented individuals who helped make the magic, mystery, and madness of Angel Street possible.

To every person who is PW and contributed their time, talent, creativity, and energy...thank you. Whether your work was seen by hundreds or happened quietly behind the curtain, your contributions made a difference.

❤️ From the first nail to the final curtain call, you helped make the Manningham home unforgettable. Thank you for another incredible production at Players Workshop Theater!
