Readers Theatre Program--We Did It

    Our Readers Theatre group Salute to Carol Burnett was a huge success, with a full house plus some in the balcony. Sherri Marengo directed the eight of us in five scenes from Carol's original scripts. The event was possible with the generous support of the Hattiesburg Arts Council and the new executive director, Alehandro Wooten. Thanks to Steve Coleman for taking the pictures.
    The audience laughed at the appropriate times and we had a wonderful evening of fun. After fifteen months of staying at home and missing live music, theatre, in-person gatherings, a night of laughter was a treat for the cast as well as the audience.

Who knew we needed another activity to be involved in? It was so much fun, and our friends thrilled us by coming out. One of the women had a hat left from her Red Hat Society days.
