JACKSON, Wyo. — Join Off Square Theatre Company in the Center Theater as they celebrate 25 years of bringing live theatre to Jackson! Off Square will take the stage at the Center Theater at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14, for “From Off Square to Times Square: A Musical Celebration of 25 Years.”
The evening’s concert will feature the talents of many of your favorite local, visiting and student artists in the Off Square Theatre family as well as the impressive vocal stylings of two Broadway stars.
Tickets are available through the Center for the Arts website.
The concert will begin by showcasing highlights of Off Square Theatre’s past musical productions, including a medley recognizing the many youth musicals produced by Off Square starring youth from the region. Hosted by Jeff Bratz, who has been performing with Off Square Theatre for over 15 years.
“Off Square is an artistic home that has supported my creativity and growth for many years,” Bratz shared. “It is an honor to join as the host for the concert to celebrate this milestone with the community.”
Sharing the stage with Bratz to form the Off Square Theatre Ensemble are Melissa Elliott, Rosie McNamara, Stephanie Capps, Sadie Frank, Marguerite French, Kendall Johnson, Taralee Fairclough, Jeffrey Scott Stevens, Kyler Arriola, Haley Ross, Rose Linville and more.
The concert’s first half will also highlight “Petticoat Rules,” a musical with a very special place in Jackson’s history. The musical, composed by Jackson’s own Pam Drews Phillips and last produced by Off Square Theatre in 2009, tells the story of the Petticoat Rulers — the all-female town council who ruled Jackson a century ago. Phillips herself will take the stage to accompany a rousing rendition of “Cal the Cowboy.”

In the second half of the evening, audiences will be wowed by a concert from Broadway stars Blaine Alden Krauss, who recently completed a stint as Aaron Burr in “Hamilton,” and Jessica Hendy, who is widely recognized as one of Broadway’s best belters. This dynamic duo will bring Times Square right into the Center Theater with selections from hit Broadway musicals, including “Hamilton,” “Les Miserables,” “Wicked” and “The Lion King.” Renowned pianist John Boswell will accompany.
Finally, audience members are invited up onto the stage for a dance party with live music from Calle Mambo!
The concert is a collaboration with Spot-On Entertainment.
