direCtor’S noteSAbout 20 years ago, I had an amazingly fun experience playing Martha in the Playhouse’s production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. And now, I have had an amazingly fun experience directing this fantastic cast. They are an exceptionally talented, helpful and energetic group of young (and young at heart) people. You’ll see a lot of new faces on our stage tonight... and I am so glad they have joined our Playhouse family. They are very welcome additions. I hope you have as much fun watching our cast tonight as I have had with them the last several weeks. Thank you so much to the families of our cast and crew for sharing your loved ones with us.
