Production Information
Novelty Theater is now running Drupal 10. This version of Novelty Theater is produced in Drupal using a basic Bootstrap 5 theme and hosted by Pantheon. This is always a beta site. If things seem funny, it may be a feature or it may be a bug. Please let us know. The switch to Drupal 10 cleaned up a lot of old cruft, but not all (and probably created some new cruft). Some content and layout issues are still being sorted out.
