The Fractured Follies: CAH Fundraiser

The Follies turned out to be a GREAT success. (You would never have predicted that based on the dress rehearsal Thursday night.) We finally nailed the square dance, really for the first time since we started rehearsing it. The opening and closing numbers with Mom in the big chorus were stunning. And the Tico Tico dance (Copacabana) brought the house down both nights. Most of the other numbers were jaw-droppingly good, especially the one from Nunsense starring Kelly Taylor-Wilson and Barbara Barrows (BC's director of PR) along with Jae Bryan, Judy Hussey, and Lori Brown.

Here is a picture of the Copacabana Cuties:
Front row (L to R): Pete Genta, Clay Heinz, Phil Williams, Rick Geninnati. Back row: Roger Goodman, Larry Clark, Steve Carr, Bob Schwab, John Lapp, Jim Salske, Bob Anderson, Andy Zilm, and Me!

And here is a picture of most of the Federated Church people who were in the show, minus Sam and Nate, Eldon Wold, and Katie Bloomer:

Front row (L to R) Elise Schwartz, Mom. Middle row: Char Genta (as Loretta Lynn), Mary Ann Harp, Kelly Taylor-Wilson, me. Back row: Pete Genta (as Conway Twitty), Mark Kaiser, Sue Holtz-Kaiser, Mary Loveless, David Schwartz.

Besides being a really good show, it was a LOT of fun!
