Wow! What a Response to Our Plea--and MORE


      Now to the greatest news!   We are only $1,831 away from reaching the $30,000 needed to keep our doors open.   What a great thrill to see how much the theatre and school means to our community and beyond.  We have a couple weeks to raise the final amount and we are so hoping that we can claim success!!!   If you would like to contribute to this campaign, please drop off a check to the theatre or mail it or just give me a call.   WE ARE SO VERY CLOSE!!!
      
         It has been an incredibly busy couple of weeks.   We were scheduled to produce DUBLIN CAROL in THE BOX, opening last weekend.  However, with the extreme financial challenges facing us last December,  we decided that it would have been fiscally irresponsible to do that show at this time.   We did, however, have the resources available to mount The Musical Adventures of FLAT STANLEY essentially due to the quick response we received from our End of the Year Plea.   This production will be absolutely adorable and fun for everyone.   It really shows off the many talents of 38 of our LAMB School students who are in 3rd through 8th grade.   Our patrons who have been attending THE Young People's Theatre at LAMB productions have remarked about the depth of talent, the consistent professionalism and the rapid growth of these young people.   This show will be a testament to all of those.   It is a darling story with great music and high energy.  Playing without intermission, this hour long show is a great introduction to the magic of theatre for kids of all ages!
        
          As I said, this has been a very busy couple of weeks.   Our school's second semester  begins this week and if you or members of your family are interested in classes or lessons, email melissajames.lambschool@gmail.com or call us at 712-255-0536. CABARET, which runs in March, has been cast and the cast list is very impressive.   Director Russ Wooley is excited to present this show as it "has been on his list" for a very long time.  MOM-ologues has an incredible cast as well and will be ready to entertain in THE BOX beginning February 17 for two weekends. 

NOW FOR SOME FUN!   Anyone ever involved in LAMB:   actors, patrons, students, parents, teachers, ANYONE!   Do you have a special LAMB memory?   We are going to start collecting thoughts, stories, anecdotes, etc. and put together a TOP TEN LIST of LAMB Memories to share with everyone.   Have something to share?   Jot it in the comments section below or email me at diana.wooley@gmail.com and we will put it on the list.   This could be so much fun!   

         Hope to see you at The Musical Adventures of FLAT STANLEY opening this Friday at 7 p.m.
Have a great week---and think of something you would like to share....
