I WILL SEE CEMETERY CLUB OPENING WEEKEND!!!!
At our last membership meeting I emphasized the importance of members supporting productions. I hope everyone took this message to heart. If we aren't going to our own shows who will? Your fellow MCT members have worked very hard on this production. The show is ready to open on Thursday night. So grab a neighbor and come to the theatre! (I'll be watching for you from the sound/light booth!)
Rehearsals for Kiss Me Kate are in full swing and Massage Therapy has been cast. The play reading committee is busy reading shows for next year. "Yeah" to the volunteers who have gotten the show posters around town. Wanda is working very hard to drum up an audience. Ushers are needed for C. Club. In other words, there is something for every one of us to do to support our theatre.
One more New Year's thought: We are all volunteers. Everyone works hard and is doing their best. So let's keep the nasty thoughts and criticisms to a minimum and appreciate what each of us is donating in our time and talents to a maximum.

Help Needed
Well, it’s that time of year again for our season to
start. This is an appeal to anyone who is available to assist
with ushering, concessions, or taking tickets! If you've never assisted as
an usher, concessionaire (you have
to be older than 18 to serve), or ticket taker before, we have a great time and
you will come to know many others in
the theater family. Please call Wanda if you can help and she will pencil you
in. 743-0408 or 743-0994 or email her at
GM@MarathonTheater.org
with the dates you can help!
Thanks

Kiss Me Kate in Rehearsal
While The Cemetery Club is on stage, every other nick and cranny of our building is being used for the rehearsal of Kiss Me Kate. Blocking is going on the the DiMarco Room, singing in the Producers' Room and the gallery, and dancing in the hallway. This is a large and exciting production scheduled to open February 24.
