Congratulations to everybody!

Sarah Jordan will graduate this term and go straight into an electrics job at the prestigious Spoleto Fesitval in Charleston, South Carolina...

... and fresh from her performance at the Kennedy Center, Stefannie Azoroh is headed to San Francisco, where she's been accepted into the highly-competitive graduate program at the American Conservatory Theatre...

... and after the stunning success of her CABARET costume design for us, Amanda Mattes is packing to leave for her summer job as a Costume Design Assistant --and Stitcher-- for the highly-esteemed Shakespeare & Co. in the Berkshires. In the fall, she'll start her MFA studies in Virginia thanks to an extraordinary offer from UVA's graduate program -- she was their top costume candidate and is going with stipend and full tuition waiver...

... and Kristina Howard has been assigned one of our coveted Student Designer positions, creating the costumes for next year's production of THE RIVALS ... and meanwhile has been hired by the Virginia Shakespeare Festival as a Stitcher -- a position she won thanks to her portfolio interview at this year's SETC conference...

The list goes on and on...

Rehearsals will soon get underway for this summer's children's show, which will run in the Odess Theatre on June 5-14 then tour the region. The production will star Pete Moffatt, Tim Craig, Jordan Reeves, Emilie Soffe, and Sarah Hereford, under the watchful eyes of director Dennis McLernon and stage manager Will Rainer. Our production of THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF is another classic story adapted for the stage by our own Lee Shackleford, and promises a half-hour of fun and laughter.
