Here are Roger and Kelly, aka Howard Bowden and Jody Buelterman. They have a love story, too; well, kind of. Roger loves money! But be assured that we have a happy
ending.




 



Christy Wilson has stepped into a major role at the last minute.  She's great and quite a pro.  Also helped all of us with our vocals.

Did I say we had four different rehearsal venues? Make that five. We rehearsed Monday night on the concrete slab at Memorial Park!  Here are Mel and Wolfgang Hartz with the blue tape marking the stage, the exits, etc.,





AGAIN. And we were delighted to see Lucinda Morin,  our amazing choreographer. Here she is, going over a routine with Glory Padgett in the fine weather we had that evening. Don't we look studious with our books? Call it P-A-N-I-C. The show opens this weekend!





And here's our distinguished Captain Kenn Wade, having a wardrobe moment with Twila Davis, our costume designer. Don't ask!  Despite the hum of the generator powering Eddie's music and the chorus of 2,000 cicadas, it was a delightful evening until the sun went down.

We practiced by starlight and car light for a while longer, then we all went home!

See you at the Show!
