Phantom of the Market House Theatre had a successful weekend with an almost capacity audience on Friday night and over 2/3 full on Saturday. A great deal of thanks goes to the Cast- Renie Barger, Fowler Black on followspot, Chip Bohle, April Cochran, Tom Dolan, Audra Hall, Roy Hensel, Steve Schwetman, and Host for the weekend Valerie Pollard. We performed the same show the first Saturday in March at Caldwell County HS as a fundraiser for their Junior Class. If you missed out on seeing Phantom of the Market House Theatre you still have one more chance. The LATA group has booked the the Murder For Hire Troupe to perform Phantom on Friday April 1 at the Robert Cherry Civic Center as a fundraiser for Relay for Life. You can contact Audra Hall at audra.hall@lataky.com about tickets.

Another big thanks goes to Don & Renie Barger, Audra Hall, Steve and Kristy Schwetman,Fowler Black, Chip Bohle, Emily Yocum, and Luke Wilkins who stayed after the Saturday night performance of Phantom and helped us move the tables and chairs out and the put the theatre seats back in! Jim Keeney and I are extremely grateful for the help!

Footlights rehearsals moved onstage Monday in preparation for their troupe performances this weekend. The Dixie Swim Club had a run through of Act One last night in the classroom/rehearsal space which I attended. They are eager for their chance to get onstage after the Footlights performances with 4 weeks until they open.

EAT starts staging the first scenes of their show tonight in the Studio Theatre. This morning I'm taping out their set. The April Newsletter is in process and trying to get to the printer with the information about our next season along with Dixie Swim Club and a new session of Footlights that starts April 9.

March came in like a lion and seems to be going out the same way! See you at the theatre.
