Here's To A Great 2008 - I'm a Poet!

I resolve to keep my desk neat - well at least neat enough to be able to find the computer.

I resolve to refrain from picking on Skyler Brown and Chris Andrews - ok - that one is not gonna happen.

I resolve to not whine when Lee beats me in the trivia contest - ok - that one's not gonna happen either.

I resolve to, at some point, seriously consider making some resolutions.

Here's to a great 2008 for us all - full of joy, love and peace. Oh, and a few more butts in seats for the shows would be a nice thing too.

Happy Holidays from the Fiddler Staff

Happy Holiday Season to all...

Happy Hanukkah!

Merry Christmas!

and a Happy New Year!

Leo's Music Video

Hi Gang,

Enjoy this video featuring HPCT's youngest cast member (and occasional Assistant Music Director) Leo Dougherty.

HPCT has moved Downtown!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! The move has started and soon I will have my house back!

Thanks to Allan Edwards, Eric Tysinger, Cathy Thomas, Dwight Steed, Michael Dougherty and Travis and Stephanie Vernon. If any of you have time over the holidays and would like a sneak peek of the new space, give me a call at 882-2542. If you have a couple of hours to volunteer, that would be even better.

Movin' On Up!

Hi All,

HPCT is moving into our new offices/rehearsal hall - 305 North Main Street - the old Holt McPherson Center for those of you who remember it - now known as The Enterprise Center. We will start the move tomorrow (Friday) and continue getting it set up in time for Guys and Dolls Auditions. Call me if you have any time to help!!! Here's a little sneak preview of the new space...



By the way - I LOVE my new Flip Video Camera!

See you all soon,

Jennifer
