A NEW PRIZED POSSESSION

Thank you Jenna!
The boys loved the cookies too.

NEEDED: GOOD HOME FOR CIVIL WAR BELLE

This is the piano that we used in "Pride and Prejudice". It is a Dunham Square Piano, built around 1860 (that's pre-Civil War!), and is all beautiful rosewood. It is currently living backstage at the theatre, but needs a new home before OAT begins their summer season. All offers over $150 taken.

BLOOMING IN MY GARDEN RIGHT NOW

"Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation . . .'

. . .And it was so.

And God saw that it was good." Gen. 1:11-12

"Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the world revere him.
For he spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm"
Psalm 33:8-9

ROLLA REGIONAL ROBOTICS

Keith, Adam and some other Missouri S&T students have been mentoring two different groups of robotics students. The older students are going to compete this Saturday in the Regional Botball Competition at Edwardsville, Illinois. Here we have Josh Riefer, Josiah Nisbett, and Justin Mosher.

They have to program their robot to autonomously gather different items on the game board for specified points.

We will enjoy seeing this weekend's competition, which is just the first round, with Nationals being in June.

The younger group will be competing in the F.I.R.S.T. Lego League in the Fall.

And these two handsome Martins, Jed and Sam are busy on their robots.

THE SHOW IS A DELIGHTFUL MUSICAL ROMP WITH THE PEANUTS GANG

We just had our last dress rehearsal and I can guarantee that you will enjoy the show. The kids are doing a magnificent job of portraying all the fun and charm of the comic strip, while adding their own singing, dancing, and acting talents. The costume and sets add to the whimsy, but the show is not just for children. Adults will find themselves laughing heartily at the wit and humor as well. This is the perfect family outing, including the price. Join us this weekend for SNOOPY! ! the Musical.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!

FROM THE ARCHIVES . . .

Someone needed a photo from Shenandoah and as I was going through my pictures of that show I saw these two shots taken during rehearsals.
My how the time has flown!
These little ones have grown up at the theatre, and consider it our second home.
Aren't Joy and Glory adorable?!

And look at these two hams!
John carried the Union flag in this show, his first part in our mainstage plays.
