The More Things Change

It's not easy to plan ahead in the community theatre business. Well, actually, it's easy to plan ahead - but there's always the possibility that your plans will run into problems. That's the case this year with Huntington Outdoor Theatre.

The group had planned to stage Annie this summer, rotating that show with Anything Goes - but now those plans have changed. Apparently because of a touring show, no community theatre group in the Tri-State area will be able to stage Annie for a while.

When that kind of thing happens - and it happens to every theatre group at one time or another - the group has to scramble to replace the blank space in their schedule (apparently plans are going forward to stage Anything Goes). I don't think HOT has made an official announcement about its plans yet - but if the rumors I'm hearing are true, they're going to tackle an interesting project.

More on that as announcements are made.
