WELCOME FROM THE LEADERSHIP TEAM Happy New Year! It certainly has been one for us already at Running to Places, our wonderful youth theatre company filled with middle and high school students from all over Tompkins County. These young artists continue to amaze us as they gain important life skills and improve their craft, and we cannot wait to share the results of their hard work with you! Thanks to the dedication of our families, we are off to a strong start this season as they provide “family obligation” donations, fundraising, and sweat equity to the company. After serious concerns last summer that Running to Places might become a wonderful thing of the past, it seems we are on the road to financial stability. It is our sincere hope that we will be producing theatre with young people and in the process strengthening our communities for years to come! We also hope that everyone reading this message will want to become a member of the Running to Places family, and by becoming a donor you can do just that today! Even better, your donation dollars may count twice: all new donors who do not have an immediate family member in the company will see their donation matched by our Park Foundation challenge grant until we reach our goal of $10,000! We are proud and thankful to announce this support from the Park Foundation, and it's exciting to consider the opportunities your donations will bring to our young people and audiences. It's our goal to meet this challenge between now and our middle school production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which runs at the Hangar Theatre February 25-27. While ambitious, this accomplishment will help ensure that Running to Places becomes a permanent establishment in Tompkins County! To join us, please simply utilize the donation form located in this program or a similar card located in the concessions area. There is a secure box at concessions to receive your form and donation to “Running to Places.” Or you can return home and conveniently donate via PayPal at www.runningtoplaces.org or by mail to us at – PO Box 483, Ithaca, NY 14851. The entire Running to Places family – which includes around 180 company members plus their families along with the artistic and production team mentors – is thankful to have you here with us at this performance. Enjoy, and we hope to continue seeing you throughout the coming year! Best, Gail, Joey, and Todd

BIOGRAPHIES Allison Mollenkamp (Ensemble): Allison is thrilled to be back with R2P for such a fabulous show. She is a freshman at Ithaca High School, where she sings in the choir, plays trumpet in the band, and rushes to get her homework done. Some of her favorite roles have included Miss Hannigan (Annie Jr., Boynton Middle School) and Alberta (The Wind in the Willows, Running to Places). Allison wishes she could thank in better words all the wonderful people who have done so much for this production, both behind the scenes and farther off the stage than that. This is something special, and she hopes you'll love it. Amanda Wagner (Ensemble): Amanda is a junior at LACS and is very excited to be part of her 7th show with R2P. When not acting, she can be found playing lacrosse, singing with Vitamin L, or playing various instruments. Amanda would like to thank her family and friends for their support. Enjoy the show!

When Elena isn’t at R2P rehearsal, she is practicing soccer, doing homework, singing, or working out in the weight room. Elena would like to thank her parents and her friends for supporting her during the show, and she would especially like to thank the Lansing Girls Varsity Soccer team for all of their support when she was getting ready for auditions and for callbacks <3LLC2010<3.

Emma Eldredge (Angel): Emma is pleased to perform in her second R2P production. She was last seen in the Spring Showcase of 2010 and Guys and Dolls at Dewitt.

Felix also attended the Orange County High School Of The Arts in the Integrated Arts, and Opera/Choral Conservatories in Santa Ana, California before moving to Ithaca. He looks forward to much more stage time, and a great second year in Ithaca! Grace Bobertz (Reporter #2/Ensemble): is simply tickled pink to be in her first Running to Places production! While on hiatus from singing, acting and dancing, she can most likely be found creating all kinds of art, contentedly cleaning her room, delving into her trusty thesaurus and homeschooling in her hometown of Trumansburg. She will now take the time to thank Gail, Joey, Todd, Tom, and the rest of the crew for their unfathomable encouragement, dedication...and for simply being the cat's meow. She dearly hopes you have as much of a rapturous time seeing Anything Goes as she had being in it! Gregg Houck (Assistant Director): Gregg is enthusiastically returning for his 2nd season with R2P having previously served as both an assistant and lead scenic paint charge last season. He is currently the Theater Director for the Candor Central School District's CCS Dramatics.

He is also quite excited to be playing Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. He has also peasantly surprised that this is his twelfth R2P show (that he performed in). He thinks its totally crazy that he has been a part R2P for so long. Besides being British he enjoys eatin, sleeping, and cookies. He would like to thank his family, the Production Team, the cast and you for making this show possible and he hopes everyone has Hot Pants for a game of shuffleboard. MYOM!!! Jenna Ledet (Erma) is thrilled to be in her third Running to Places production! In the past she has been seen dancing at the hotbox or questioning the addition of a pool table in River City. She would like to thank her two musketeers, her single ladies, a couple of sailors, her partner in crime, her parents, her sister, and her three brothers for all of the support and encouragement. Not to mention Joey, Todd, and Gail for all for their kindness and hard work. Enjoy the show!

Sam Bobertz (Luke): Just six short months ago, Sam was an innocent young boy, completely unaware of the sins of gambling. Last summer he made his R2P debut as the crapshooter Harry the Horse in Guys and Dolls. In that short time he went from needing to Google what a crapshooter was, to playing one so convincingly he was cast as one yet again (but of course this time he's reformed). When not acting, he can usually be found playing soccer, reading, or singing in the shower. He would like to thank the cast and crew profusely for all their hard work and fun times. Enjoy the show!

Running to Places Theatre Company (R2P) is a nonprofit theatre company for teens that rehearses and performs all over the Tompkins County area. We provide youth with opportunities to participate in all aspects of theatre and the process allows them to create great art, develop important life skills, and make deep connections with teens from every school district in the county. Participation is open to all those in grades 6-12 or the home school equivalent. Rather than impose a strict fee structure for participation, we depend on donations, fundraising, ticket sales, business sponsorships, and grants. R2P was started in 2007 to meet the demand for more theatre opportunities for the talented youth in this area, reduce barriers to participation in the arts, and to build community across the county. After spending its inaugural season under the nonprofit umbrella of Social Ventures, Running to Places Theatre Company was incorporated as an independent 501(c)3 in September 2008. The founding members of R2P are Gail Belokur, Ross Mizrahi, Todd Peterson, and Joey Steinhagen.
