with an introduction by Beverly Hill van Joolen

I’ve had a pretty typical CP/drama teacher year...I wrote two shows, directed four, did hair and make-up for a fifth and sixth, costumed a seventh, served on the Board, stepped in to manage a vacated position, watched my daughter graduate and to end the season...I’m prepping our house to sell as we are moving to Boston! A banner year true but still one typical of the opportunities embraced by the all-volunteer cast, crew, staff, and Board of Colonial Players. We all have second lives, but because we believe in the magic that theatre can bring to both CP members and our audiences we are happy to be a part of the community theatre family. So, it was with great pleasure that my last official duty for CP was to mentor our end of the season intern from Calverton School, Michelle Edwards. Michelle got very involved very fast and like the rest of us, jumped in with both feet. She did a great job and finished her internship as guest writer for July’s Off Book. My thanks to Michelle and my thanks and best wishes to my CP family for the amazing years of creating star-studded and award winning theatre.

Cheers! Beverly
