Triumvirate Theatre

Socialists, capitalists and nutcases of every political persuasion are embarking on a lampooned theatrical journey. “Lame Ducks and Dark Horses” follows the mayhem often associated with election season, with skits and quips that may hit close to home.

Josh Ball, Tyler Payment and Joe Rizzo from Triumvirate Theatre's election-season spoof show, "Lame Ducks and Dark Horses," are live in the studio to talk about this year's show to close out KDLL's Fall Membership Drive. Is truth stranger than fiction? Is it dicier to joke about national or local politics? Have they ever washed those Java Girls wigs? Tune in to find out!

For the first time in over a decade, Triumvirate Theatre will stage a one-of-a-kind comedy-parody. “This Ain’t Broadway” is a locally-written musical that follows a fraudulent playwright’s writing process.

More than three years after a fire razed Triumvirate Theatre’s building in Nikiski, construction is underway on a new playhouse in Kenai. The local theater group says the new building wouldn’t be possible without the help of community support and state funding.

This week, Soldotna High School’s auditorium is alive with “The Sound of Music.” Triumvirate Theatre is staging a production of the Broadway classic, which follows a governess who falls in love with a naval captain during the height of Austria’s Nazi takeover.

In collaboration with Triumvirate Theatre, Soldotna High School will be performing the classic musical “The Wizard of Oz.” While the production showcases the talent of local students, it also aims to bring the community together.

While many high school students form lasting friendships, they also form relationships that don’t exist in the outside world. "Lockers" is a unique take on high school students who share neighboring lockers.

Triumvirate Theatre's building burned down in 2021. Since then, the nonprofit theater company has raised millions to build a new playhouse, which will be celebrated with a Saturday groundbreaking event in Kenai.

During our 2022 Fall Membership Drive, we spoke with Joe Rizzo, Chris Jenness and Tyler Payment about Lame Ducks & Dark Horses — Triumvirate's biennial political satire show.

The showing this weekend is a fundraiser for Triumvirate, to chip away at the estimated $4.7 million needed to build a new theater in Kenai.
