Rave Review for Annie!

I just had to pass along this email from one of the guests at last Sunday's show.  Congrats to all!!

Looking forward to another great weekend of shows with you!!

We just saw "Annie" last night. We absolutely loved it! The sets were fantastic, the props were perfect! Nicolette Burton as Miss Hannigan was beyond all expectation - she was wonderful- so professional. Christian Spangler as FDR was so believable - loved his voice and his impersonation of him was fantastic. Seth Hawkins played Warbucks so well. Reed Lievers could not have done Rooster any better - loved him! The three of them (Kat, Reed, and Nicolette played their scenes together so well - totally loved their chemistry! Anna Lettang as Mrs. Pugh and Devon Zarro as Mrs. Greer caught our attention as superb in their roles - they were delightful. Isabel Friedl being only nine is quite impressive having such fabulous stage presence - and such a major role. We loved the tap dancing of the orgphans - they were amazing. The show was great! Thank you for such a great cast and such great entertainment. We loved it!!!

Dear Families,

There will also be pages for the kids to exchange autographs, just like a school yearbook! What a fun keepsake to remember Annie!

Time is of the essence, so please email JoAnne Lux at JWL406@aol.com right away to place your order.

Greenroom Clean Up Schedule

Here is the Dressing Room Clean Up Schedule.  Due to Annie having a smaller cast, each cast member is scheduled to clean up twice.  Remember it takes about 15-20 minutes to clean the dressing rooms after the other cast members have changed out of their costumes.  

Cast - Be sure to check out with the Green Room Parent before leaving on your assigned night.  Thank you in advance for helping to us to be responsible guests at the theater as we leave the dressing room area in a beautiful condition each night.

Parents - I have done my best to schedule families and carpools on the same night and appreciate your understanding that clean up has to happen on school nights also.  Thank you for helping your child to be a responsible guest by waiting to take him/her home until the clean up is finished and s/he has checked out with the Green Room Parent.



Thanks,
Joan Bohnstedt

Longer Rehearsal on Saturday

Since we will be together for six hours, rather than just 4 on Saturday, the following would be helpful:

• Kids (especially NYC cast) should plan to bring a book to read, homework to complete or a quiet game to play. Also remember to bring additional snacks and water. 

• Parents, it would be helpful to have two additional volunteers to help break down the time commitment to 3 hours per parent. If you are available, please see our Show Chair, Janet Lettang, at the Parent Meeting on Friday.
