We have an extensive cast and crew consisting of fifty-nine members. Several elementary and middle school students have assumed roles for the play, also. Mr. Tom Doran and volunteer, Mr. Matt Dierking, are assisting.
We will be offering something new this year for both public performances. “Dinner and a Show” will consist of lasagna, garlic bread, and ice cream sundaes on Friday, April 27th for $15 per adult and $10 per student. The Sunday, April 29th matinee, will also be paired with dessert for $9 per adult and $7 per student. Both performances will be available without purchase of dinner or dessert for $7 per adult and $5 per student, the same as previous years.
