Dear Friends,
Much has happened during this production season, both on and off the
stage. Our year began with a reprise performance of Nunsense.
The ladies once again did a bang-up job. Shortly after, we assisted with
the All School Musical Cinderella, and what a tremendous group
of students they were-a true joy to work with. Mid-summer we paid tribute
to our 25th year in community theater by presenting a revue called, Oh
What a Beautiful 25 Years!. During this performance we were fortunate
to be graced by the presence of the Board of Directors of CTAM (Community
Theater Association of Michigan) who honored us with an award recognizing
our 25th year. The show provided us an opportunity to thank you our patrons
and members in person. Closing out our performances was Anything Goes.
I wish to express a special thank you to Len Miller, Paul Frair, and Bob
Leon, (a.k.a. The Geezer Group), on behalf of the Board, for building
such a wonderful set for Anything Goes. The time and energy you
put in was very evident. To our directors, Mike Aubin (Stage), Tom Maksimchuk
(Music), Sara Perfetti (Vocal), and Jill Sajdyk (Choreographer) - your
vision, talent, and patience made it a unique and wonderful experience
for everyone involved. THANK YOU!
Currently, we are exploring the feasibility of assisting with a live
radio/theater series in cooperation with Calumet Township and Main Street
Calumet. This idea was partially inspired by the success of our War
of the Worlds live/radio theater production last fall. Next spring
we plan to introduce a new director, graduated from our Director’s
Workshop, and in the fall plans are to produce Annie Get Your Gun.
Finally, I’d like to personally thank everyone for making my year
as President a pleasant experience. I look forward to my final year on
the Board as Immediate Past President.
Ken Olkkonen
President

It has been a busy year and there are
many people involved. It is difficult to name them all. But a special
thank you goes out to Mike Aubin who directed Nunsense, Cinderella,
and Anything Goes and performed in Oh What a
Beautiful 25 Years. And to Sara Perfetti who was music director
for Cinderella, vocal director for Anything Goes,
and performed in Nunsense. And to everyone, for so freely
and generously donating your time, talents, and energy to make this
season such a success.
Please accept this thank you from the entire Board of Directors .
