Make time for these
Artistic director Lynn Lammers founded Kickshaw Theatre in 2015 as a nonprofit professional theater operating under an agreement with Actors' Equity Association. It staged five seasons of contemporary plays in borrowed spaces around town. In May 2020 it canceled the last production of the season, The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It then announced it would close permanently.
