The past year did bring some sorrow. The beloved director Joe Barnett, who brought My Way. Christmas My Way and Moon River to the big stage last season, passed away in April 2006. Joe will be greatly missed by all of us, and his memory lives on in the form of the Joe Barnett Scholarship for the Performing Arts. Your generous donations to this fund will not only provide educational opportunities for young artists, it will ensure the Joe's memory lives on i the fostering of new talent through the scholarship. Donors of $25 or more will receive a complimentary CD in honor of Joe and written by Rick Cordes, entitled "Around Again".
Our first commitment is your comfort and enjoyment as we present quality live theatre. We look forward with this season to do more than just maintain the quality of performance on which our reputation is built. We would like to "raise the bar" a notch or two and provide even more innovation and comfort to our audiences. We encourage you to share your ideas with us, and give generously to assist us in reaching our goal.
Pease consider both giving a tax-deductible dontation and inviting your friends to join you in purchasing season tickets for the 2007 season. We look forward to seeing you at the theatre!

Artistic Director
