A great production, that showed once again that Theatrecraft is a truly versatile society.   A strong cast did justice to a very challenging play.

Norman, in his usual role of "Renaissance Man" also directed.  Dave Hughes as Stage Manager produced a magnificent set and - in a role reversal - Tim Liggins ably assisted him and also dealt with the most noisy curtain mechanism ever heard.  Thanks to Mary on prompt, Eileen and every one who lent a hand.

This production brought together some great talent and audiences were very appreciative!   Although we were running quite a risk performing a show (in the open air) that included the number "If the rain's gotta fall"!    
And - of course it did, especially one memorable evening when the entire cast and an audience of 200 all squeezed into a small marquee.  But the show definitely went on, with the cast using every possible inch of space.  As luck would have it, this was of course the night the local newspaper was in - however, the write-up gave the cast it praise it well deserved for such a professional performance.
