To begin with, some EMACT news. Remember, our entry in the Memorial Day week-end competition, Sylvia, has the 2nd slot on Sunday, shortly after noon. Do go and support our Players. Also, the EMACT awards dinner is Friday, June 25th. Nominated for awards are: Sylvia, the ensemble for Acting, Joe Zamparelli, Jr, for Director, Lis Adams for Costumes, and Cathie Regan for Stage Manager. From Wait Until Dark, Karen Binder, Russell Rocheleau, (brrrrr!) and Anna Williams for acting, Sally Bull, Heddie Kent, Katie Blair and Lisa Sacks for props, Dave Sheppard for Set Design and Jo Graney and Connie McCarthy for Set Dressing (Heddie was Set Design Mentor - it's in the program!). The awards dinner is fun, rousing, full of cheering, and followed by dancing. Price is $30 per person.

A change in our schedule for next season: In place of Communicating Doors, the spring show will be Neil Simons' Rumors directed by Michael Jacobs who directed the French farce, Don't Walk Around in the Nude (and she didn't, quite.) So, a musical, a classic, and a comedy: a Great Season!

After June 30th, the go off to Morgan Memorial, or into the Costume Room.... And speaking of the Green Room, many thanks to Ani and Bob Rooney for donating two badly needed couches!
