Dear Friends,
Our new Theatre Adventure fall semester started last week! We were in our own Zoom windows and seeing our friends---seeing old faces and some new was great. It doesn’t really matter that we weren’t in the same room. Everyone was talking and laughing like old times. Some people called out to me, “Hi Melody!” and it made me so happy that they were happy to see me. I haven’t seen them since last May.
My fellow cast members and I were ready to drive right into theater and we were happy to sing songs with our friend, Rich. We just love singing his songs that he writes especially for us.
This fall our show is, “Ordinary Heroes.” We are focusing on how we are managing through the pandemic.
It is so much fun to be with my theater friends. The morning went so fast that it was over before I knew it. In truth, we didn’t want it to end! It was hard for our teacher, Laura Lawson Tucker to end the class. We just wanted to stay with our friends and talk and talk.
One of the things that was new to me this semester that I thought was pretty cool was dividing into different Break Out rooms on Zoom. It was pretty neat that we could do it as if we were there with each other at the West Village Meeting House in West Brattleboro. When we went back to the whole group, everyone started talking again, wanting to share what they did, whether it might be showing a drawing, writing, or moving to music.
Please join us on November 11, 12 and 13 to find out for yourself how much fun we have together and how much we care for each other. If you are really interested in our amazing program, please consider of becoming a supporter! You will be the very very first to know about our shows!!
As I said many many times before, you, my dear friends, can make a huge difference in our theater!
