And
we’re off!…to a fantastic start for the
new Town & Gown season.
A
Tuna Christmas was a huge success.
Kyle Shifflett and Seth Phillips
really out did themselves with the
hilariously amusing comedy which sold out
the second week of the show.
In addition, a special thank you to
our Town & Gown patrons who graciously
donated money to the Humane Society of
Stillwater on behalf of Petey Fisk, A
Tuna Christmas’s resident animal
rescue go to guy.
A total of $221 was collected and
given to our local rescue shelter.
Cueless
Improv began their season back on the Town
& Gown stage with two fun shows this
month entertaining about 100 guests.
There were many new faces in the
crowd who had never been to the theater
before and expressed interest in returning
for future shows. As always, if you are interested in joining Cueless, they have open practices every Tuesday at 5:30 pm and
Saturday at 10:30 am.
Director
Cindy Sheets held auditions for Kitchen
Witches and production is under way.
Linda Thrasher will play Dolly Biddle
and Leigh Murray plays Isabel Lomax in this
sure to be fun comedy opening November 11th.
As with every production, we depend
on our volunteers to make it all possible on
and off stage.
Cindy is still looking for a few more
crew members to help back stage during the
run of the show.
This is a good place to start if you
ever thought about getting involved in
theater. Or,
if you would like to volunteer in any other
ways, feel free to contact a director or one
of our board members.
The
kids Costume Workshop led by Kyle Shifflett
went very well.
The kids learned how to use everyday
household items to add to typical costumes
and created their very own costume to take
home. Thanks
to all the volunteers and parents who were
involved.
Our
next workshop is the fundraising workshop on
November 9 at 6:30 pm.
Members are welcome to join us as we
learn from Georgia Williams, Oklahoma Arts
Council member.
She will share ideas on how nonprofit
organizations like ours can be effective at
fundraising.
It is important to RSVP for this
event so Georgia can be prepared.
Please let a board member know if you
are interested in attending.
It
is an exciting time to be a part of Town
& Gown and we thank all of you for your
continued support in fulfilling our mission
as well as creating quality entertainment
for our community.
Happy
Fall!
-- Dawn Wilson,
Town & Gown President, 2010-11
