ONE SHOW CLOSES, ANOTHER BEGINS

CINDERELLA has closed, the set is gone, the props stored, the costumes are being cleaned… it’s official, it’s over! What a wild run, amazing crowds, amazing people on stage and off, it just couldn’t have been a better time. So many people did such a great job, I can’t begin to name them all here so I won’t try, I hope you know that if you read this your efforts did NOT go unnoticed! On behalf of the board I would like to thank every cast and crew member for their contributions to the show , no matter how small you thought they were, they helped make it a critical and financial success. So until we met again, which will be June 10, as FCT has once again been chosen to open the Hayes Presidential Center Veranda Concert Series with an evening of vocal selections from CINDERELLA, I wish you a “happy ever after!”
The theatre doesn’t stay quite for long though, before the set strike was even complete, Teen Theatre’s new cast of Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST began rehearsals, tonight a quick round of introductions,and a read through was followed by some singing. Here’s a shot of some of the cast as Randy reviews the plan for the upcoming week and Darla prepares to begin bring the already sounding great voices to their fullest potential, striving for the best, come along and “be our guest”.
