The first community theater show I directed was
"Annie", for Highland Parks. I was blessed with a great cast of fun
people, highly talented leads, and strong support from my music director,
choreographer and production designer. I watched the video recently, and
was generally pleased. Although there were certainly some rough edges, and
the 2nd act needs some judicious editing (which I think would be the case
for any production of this show) the cast was appealing and the show had a
lot of energy. A nice start, I think...

Molly White as "Annie". "Sandy" looks thrilled
here, doesn’t she? Molly was amazing, and earned a well-deserved NIETF
nomination for her efforts.

Julie Fiekema as "Grace", Molly, and Bill Ference
as "Daddy Warbucks".

Maggie Reister as
"Mrs. Hannigan", Jeff DeBoer as "Rooster", and Jennifer
McGarel as "Lilly St. Regis" (like the Hotel). Jen is only
slightly more famous for being my sister-in-law. It wouldn’t have helped
her in auditions, but she didn’t need it. (LOL)

Connie Gadbois, Allison
Brack, and Ashley Kirinch as "The Boylan Sisters". Allison is one
of the best instinctive actresses I’ve had the pleasure to work with, and
has moved on to bigger and better things…
