Cartersville's TheatreExtreme Announces 2016-17 Season
The upcoming season sees the return of Comedy and Beer as well as plays, musicals and one-act shows.
TheatreExtreme opens its second season in Cartersville with “Comedy & Beer” at the City Loft on Saturday, July 22 at 8 p.m.
As always, a charity has been placed in the spotlight for a 50/50 raffle. This time around, the Charity Spotlight is the Georgia English Bulldog Rescue.
“We love the Charity Spotlight because it allows us to highlight a group that you might not know much about,” says Meghann K. Humphreys, executive director of TheatreExtreme. “Our hope is that audience members will look into that charity and consider supporting it in some manner.”

Humphreys said the July 22 will feature some aspects familiar to audience members, and improv games with outlandish scenarios and characters are sure to make appearances.
“We like to try different things with each of our shows to keep audiences guessing, but we will be returning to some of our tried-and-true shenanigans,” said Humphreys.
