The summer of 2001 proved to be a very busy time for the Theatre with back to back events. Beginning with THE CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP in June, the Theatre hosted about 3 dozen children, some of them having their first experience onstage. Donna Seay did a remarkable job bringing them all into the action with costumes, sets, and even some dancing!
In July, we had one of the greatest Broadway Revues of all time with SHOWSTOPPERS III---The Classics. Michael and Kayla Blackston and Will Brown put together a remarkably entertaining show highlighting some of the great musicals from the 50's up to the present.
In August, the cast of DEARLY DEPARTED reunited to bring us a great reprise of the play, with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society for the annual Relay for Life event. In October, the same dedicated cast 'took the show on the road' to compete in the Georgia Theatre Conference "The Play's The Thing" at the State University of West Georgia in Carrolton. Our hats are off to this fine, talented and dedicated group.
WE CAME AWAY AS A WINNER: STAN SHEFTALL Honorable Mention Best Director!
