May, 2010
Summer is almost here
and I can finally feel it in the weather.
Yea! Now let's have some fun at the theatre.
First off I would like
to encourage all current members to attend
our next membership meeting. We will be
electing new board members since Diane
Keenom and Lucy Robinson are coming to the
end of their terms. Thanks to Diane and Lucy
for three great years of service and we hope
to still have your gracious assistance in
the future. Those who are running for the
two open positions include Jacob Boyd, Jack
Hodgson, Janice James, Billy McCollom and
Debbie Sutton. Current members are eligible
to vote so come on out and support your
favorite candidate. If you are not paid up
for this year and would like to vote, Susan
will be there to take you membership dues.
Come out and VOTE!
Our current production, All I Really Need to Know I
Learned in Kindergarten, still has one
week of performances left so don't miss out
on this wonderful show. Call (405) 372-9122
for tickets.
Cueless Improv, after
a very successful performance at Stillwater Radio's Women's Night Out,
is preparing for their show at Ghostlight Theatre,
3110 N. Walker, Oklahoma City, at 8pm.
Tickets for that performance are $10. Their
next T&G performances are set for May 7
& 8, 2010 at 8pm. Admission, as always,
is only $5 so come out and laugh with this
group of talented folks. A silent auction
will be held in conjunction with these shows
to raise money for a series of workshops
over the summer.
The play selection committee
has decided to keep the submission deadline
open for a few more weeks, allowing those of
you who have been procrastinating one last
chance to get that play you want to direct
in. We are looking forward to the
committee's recommendation and a superb 60th
season. The
deadline for submissions is May 17, 2010, so if you still have something for
consideration or any other questions, please contact Jacob
Boyd. A big thanks goes to the Play
Selection Committee for taking on such an
important task of selecting on 60th season.
The 60th Anniversary Planning Committee
is working on special events for our
landmark season. The first of which will be
a Street Fair set for Saturday, August 14,
2010 from 10am-6pm. This street fair will
include local art vendors, children's
activities, live music, theatrical
performances, theatre tours, membership
drive, silent auction, food, drinks
and much more throughout the day. There will
be lots of volunteer opportunities for this
day so mark your calendars now and contact Ashley
Hodges to let her know you want to help.
The committee is also asking for suggestions
for activities so feel free to email those
suggestions to Ashley as well.
On a less fun note,
there will be some construction projects
going on at Town & Gown shortly after
Kindergarten wraps. A new roof will be added
and some work to the damaged areas of the
box office and backstage areas will be
fixed. Please bear with us during our
construction time and be safe around our
mess.
Finally, mark your
calendars for T&G's summer production, Little
Shop of Horrors, which opens June 16,
2010. Director Kevin Worley has recently
selected his cast and it looks like a great
one. The cast list will be posted on the
website soon after Kindergarten
closes.
Get out there and
support everything Town & Gown has to
offer and until next time I'll see you at
the theatre.
