July, 2010
I think my keyboard is
melting as I put together the latest
newsletter. Although it is hot outside, Town
& Gown is staying pretty busy this
summer with Cueless, workshops and the
upcoming season kickoff party. Also, we have
a little bit of business that we like to
call "Announcing the Best Season
EVER!" Okay, maybe not
"ever," but the season that has
been set will definitely make the 60th
Diamond Anniversary Season one to remember.
Congratulations to
Kevin Worley and the cast and crew of Little
Shop of Horrors for a very successful
run last month. After a very busy opening
week, the show had five straight sold-out
performances the next week. A big thanks
goes out to all involved and we look forward
to working with all of you again in the
future.
Up next at T&G, Cueless will once again have
two back to back shows July 16 & 17,
2010, at 8pm. Along with a great weekend of
performances, members of Cueless will be
attending the 2nd Annual Oklahoma City
Improv Festival in August. Don't forget to see
these shows and support the newest group to
spring out of Town & Gown's talented
pool of volunteers.
For those of you who
have never auditioned for a play or are just
don't understand how the audition process
normally goes, we have a workshop planned
just for you July 17, 2010 from 1-4pm. This
workshop will be conducted by Tom Cowley
from the Ponca Playhouse and REACT Theatre
in Tonkawa. The workshop will be free
for current members of Town & Gown.
Non-members can pay only $5 to attend the
workshop. More workshops are already slated
for the rest of the year, such as a
fundraising workshop tentatively scheduled
for September 1 and a Halloween costume
workshop scheduled for October 9. Stay tuned
for more details about both of these
informative and fun events.
Finally, this will
officially be my last message to all of you
as President. It has been a fun, exciting
time and I look forward to continuing to
serve on the Board of Directors for another
two years. I am anxious to turn the reins
over to new President, Dawn Wilson, who I am
confident will do a wonderful job. I hope
all of you will support her and the rest of
the Board this year. All of us who serve on
the Board will continue to serve the theatre
in order to help it thrive and grow as it
has done for 60 years. So to all of you, I
raise a glass and say "Here's to 60 great years of Town & Gown!
May we continue to shine brightly for
another 60 years!"
Until next time, I'll
see you at the theatre.
-- Jared
F. Cranke,
Town & Gown President, 2009-10
