Theatre Notes

A few news items about young performers with roots in Huntington who are making their mark in the world of entertainment:

- Congratulations to Sarah Hayes, who recently danced as part of a special tour in New York (off Broadway) and in Washington, DC!

- Congratulations to Maggie Saunders, who was chosen as a finalist for the second West Virginia Symphony Idol competition in Charleston, and will sing with the symphony in February! The first Symphony Idol - my pal Ryan Hardiman - recently ended his reign.

- Congratulations to Josh Meredith, who has a busy summer at the Weathervane Playhouse in Newark, Ohio - he'll be Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors June 2-11, Huck Finn in Big River June 30-July 9, Rolf in The Sound of Music July 14-July 23, and a Principal dancer in Chicago July 28-August 6!

- Congratulations to Laura LaCara, who recently signed on to perform as part of the Greenbrier Entertainers. That group is staging the musical Blues in the Night at the world-class resort. The show is a dynamic collection of torchy blues classics.

And that just scratches the surface - if you have news to share, send it to me at TheMinskers@aol.com and I'll post it here!
