Boundary County Fair
Since
early July, a small group of young performers
has been working very hard to get ready to
perform for the community. In past years, Summer
Theatre’s productions have been on the stage at
the Becker Auditorium, but this year that will
not be the case. This year, the group will be
performing for County Fair-goers at the
Fairgrounds’ gazebo. “It has been difficult to
adjust,” said Annie co-director and performer
McKaela Spradlin, “we are having to use grass,
and a different structure and set.” Despite this
non-traditional stage, however, the actors are
excited to share all of their hard work with an
audience. Due to a smaller cast and the rehearsal schedule, the group will not be performing an entire show, but will instead be performing selections from the famous Broadway musical Annie. These selections, to name a few, will include classic favorites like “Hard-Knock Life,” “Never Fully Dressed without a Smile,” and “Tomorrow.” “We tried to focus the selections on the group,” said McKaela, “we wanted to keep everyone on stage as much as possible.”
These selections from Annie will be performed twice on August 20, 2015 – once at 5:30 pm and again at 6 pm. “We are excited for everyone to see it,” said McKaela.
