Flanagan's Wake closed at Pheasant Run/Noble Fool/Chicagoland Theatre CO. on April 29, 2007.  This is one of the only pictures I have of a Flanagan's cast.  "Ah, Danny Boy, I'll miss ya!"

Rehearsals are underway for Forum with Summer Place Theatre.  I am rehearsal accompanist and playing Reed 1 (Alto Sax, Clarinet, Flute and Picc) in the pit.  From my vantage point, this show will be very enjoyable.  We had our first orchestra rehearsal on this past Monday and it went very well.  Janel B. is the Conductor.  She was the MD for St. Charles North HS when I did Into the Woods and Little Shop of Horrors a few years ago.

My friend, Denise D., just had her baby yesterday!!  It is a boy.  Leonard David Merit Deter.  I am so happy for D & A.  What a delight!

Auditions for Noble Fool Youth Ensemble's summer production, School House Rock Live Jr., will be on Wednesday, May 23 from 4-9pm at Pheasant Run.

Auditions for West Side Story with Summer Place Theatre will be on Sunday June 3 from 7- 10pm and Monday June 4 from 7-10pm at the Alfred Rubin Center.

Other than these updates, I have some other exciting news, but I can't share until I seal the deal which should happen in the next week or so.

I hope spring has brought sunshine and growth to your neck of the woods.

Until next time - kj
