Although by-passed by the judges, The Best Christmas
Pageant Ever received an overwhelming audience endorsement by making it
the most profitable production of the season, even at non-musical ticket
prices! The Spotlight congratulates Director Dawn Fansler, Producer Evelyn Rice and the enthusiastic cast.
At FCT's Annual Meeting Sunday afternoon June 14th, members attending unanimously elected the following slate of Directors which had been presented: Sherry Bendt (retiring as Treasurer) and Evelyn Rice, whose three-year terms were expiring, and new members Tom Bohacek, Deanna James, and Kevin Tupper.
Tom recently was on the staff of The Mousetrap as Lighting Technician,
and designed and helped construct and paint the set of Moon over Buffalo. Deanna was deeply involved in Annie Get Your Gun as Producer, and Kevin joined to take over the demanding
job of Treasurer - his wife Hilary and
daughter Holly have been involved in The
Best Christmas Pageant Ever and Annie
Get Your Gun and put in hours of work helping clear FCT's costumes, props,
scenery and other belongings from the second floor of the white building, prior
to its sale.
Vice-President Steve Heyda is retiring from the
Board, leaving the following members with unexpired terms: Laurie Abeel, Laurie Bersack, Richard Mulder,
Coleen Prenda, Don Richardson, Rodney Smith and Sandy Steinmeyer, for a total of twelve.
At its meeting the
following evening, the Board reorganized itself, electing Rich Mulder as President, Evelyn Rice as
Vice-president, Kevin Tupper as Treasurer and Coleen Prenda as Secretary.
It's significant that three
Board members live nearby in

Audition and be part of another unforgettable show!
FCT will hold auditions for its production of Children
of Eden Friday, June 26 from
Auditions will
be held at
From Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, and Wicked) and John Caird of Les Miserables comes a joyous and inspirational musical. Freely based on the story of Genesis, Children of Eden is a frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. Adam, Eve, Noah and the Father who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that "the hardest part of love... is letting go."
Children of Eden is a true ensemble show. Casting will be multi-generational (all ages from 8 to 80 desired) and multi-racial. The show requires strong vocal performance as well as some movement, but no dance experience is required. Those auditioning should come prepared to sing 16 bars from a Broadway show or rock musical. Choral experience is a plus. You must indicate any conflicts for rehearsal dates. Please arrive at the beginning of the audition.
Performance dates for the show are October 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, and 18.
For more information or directions,
go to www.fctstage.org or call FCT’s phone line at (540) 349-8760. In addition, you may contact the Director, Evelyn Rice at eveyluvstheatre@aol.com.
