TITP

A fun story to give a giggle to go with our fun show.

Last night we were forced to call off our show due to a huge storm in the area.  We only made it through the opening number before we had to make the announcement and clear everyone out of the park.  Our executive producer had a friend in the audience with his five year old son who was SO excited, just beside himself, to see the Cat in the Hat.  He settled in near the front with his blankie and his Cat in the Hat stuffed toy just doe-eyed for the show.  He saw about seven minutes of the show and we made the announcement to clear the park.  His dad was so sad he had to tell this little boy they were leaving and he wouldn't see the rest of the show. "Come on son we have to leave now." he said.  And the little boy replied, "Thanks, Dad, that was best show I've ever seen!"  

Ah, children and theatre....

Also, we have just announced our upcoming season: Sweeney Todd, Sweet Charity, A Disney Double Feature of Cinderella and Jungle Book (yes that's two shows every night for two weeks!), Urinetown, and You're A Good Man Charlie Brown

This is a big change in our theatre considering we usually only do family friendly "PG"ish shows...and we usually only do four.  I love our new executive producer and what he's doing for us... but I have to be honest, that's some scary changes!  We just want to know if we get paid more! ; )
