Joplin Little Theatre

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN Cast is announced

Thank you to all who auditioned. It was a very difficult decision.

The first rehearsal will be MONDAY, JULY 7, 2008 at 7:00 pm. Please be there a little early so we can get started promptly at 7:00 pm.

Please enter through the backstage door. This is the door through which you will enter for all rehearsals. The front doors will not be unlocked.

You will be filling out bios for the program. Please bring a pencil. Lara Hicks will also be there to take measurements for costumes.

If you have an asterisk by your name, that means you will be getting a full script. I must have a deposit of $25.00 before I can give you the script. When you turn in your script, you will receive your deposit back. If you lose your script or damage it, this deposit will pay for it. This is a Joplin Little Theatre policy. For those who do not get a full script, I will be copying the parts you will need. You will be required to return the copies to me at the end of the production. This is a contractual requirement of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Library.

We are looking forward to a wonderful experience.

Ann, Cecie, Angela, Nicholas

Personifying the clean-cut genre are the PLAIDS. This quartet of school chums’ earnest dreams of recording an album ended in death (literally and indeed, symbolically) in a collision with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls or their way to see the Beatles’ American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The play begins with the Plaids returning from the afterlife for one final chance at musical glory – the girls miraculously escaped uninjured. The members of FOREVER PLAID were killed instantly. It is that moment when their careers ended, that the story of FOREVER PLAID begins….

A bittersweet comedy, filled with much loved music, FOREVER PLAID will touch the hearts and funny bones of all ages!

Little theater, big history . . .

After nearly 30 years of intimate involvement in the glamour of Joplin Little Theatre’s stage and the chaos of behind-the-scenes management, Cecie Fritz’s history and the history of the longest continuously running community theater west of the Mississippi are one and the same.

From the President

Since accepting my role of leadership with the theatre, an important goal has been to acknowledge every monetary contribution which has been made to Joplin Little Theatre. To be certain that no individual or business had been overlooked, I recently requested a copy of our treasurer's report of donations for 2007-2008.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, letters were sent expressing our sincere gratitude for the generous support of our community theatre which, during the 2009-2010 season, will observe seventy years of providing entertainment to the Joplin community and surrounding area.

We are also certainly very grateful for each of the volunteers who give freely of their time and talents by bringing live theatre to each of you who purchase memberships and faithfully attend our shows.

THANK YOU! ~~ "GR"
