Abingdon Theatre Company—which has produced 77 new American plays in its 20-year history, kicked off its 2012-2013 Season with a wonderful party that felt to all partiers attending like a gathering of old, intimate friends, since according to ATC, "It's our 20th Season and we want to celebrate with all the Artists that we know and love".

It was a night of "Eat, drink, dance, reminisce about old shows (with photos and souvenirs), kick around ideas about new projects, networking, and generally enjoy each other's company!"

There was also a sneak peak at Abingdon's newest programming - the Pop Up Playhouse (PUP) with a presentation at 7:30 pm of two 15 minute Fairytales which will be a part of Fairytale Fridays this Season.
