Testing 1-2-3



This is a test to see if I can really add photos to the posts section of this blog. It is only a test. If this were an actual message it wouldn't have a picture of Gracie and Lola in it.

Yes, Virginia, There is An Act 3

And we will start working on it tomorrow - Monday, April 30th and Tuesday, May 1st from 7 - 10. It will be nice seeing some of the artists formerly known as cast members once again.

See you then.

My sweet sister

Dear Friends,

My dear sister Jane passed away today around 3:00 pm. She died peacefully, quietly and surrounded by her sisters at Hospice Home of High Point. While we are heartbroken, it was so good to see her at peace after this difficult illness.

Thank you so much for your love, support, emails and cards. They meant so much to her and they mean so much to her family.

Preliminary plans are that the family will receive visitors at Jane’s home on Innwood Street from 7 – 9 on Saturday Evening and a Memorial Service will be held on Sunday at 3:00 at Davis Funeral Home on Phillips Avenue.

Final plans will be listed in the High Point Enterprise or the Greensboro News & Record or online at http://www.davisfuneralsandcremations.com/ or http://racingforthecross.com/janereport/ as soon as possible.

With gratitude and love,

Jennifer

Great 1st Rehearsal

We had a great 1st rehearsal for THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER last night and I'm looking forward to reading the 2nd half of the play tonight.

But 1st we have to agree that THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER is far too long to type every time I refer to this show - so from henceforth this play will be referred to as MAN.

See you at 7:00.

Remember to check back here on Thursday for the rehearsal schedule for next week.

Jennifer

Research for Man

Hi all,

Here is a link to all the famous and infamous (and fictitious) people in the play.

Enjoy!

A Must See

I'll try never to let this blog get political - you all know how I feel - but I think this is something that we can ALL agree is pretty funny, pretty sad and very true.

Enjoy!
