From A Theatre Patron

Cast and crew - a note from a theatre patron who saw Kate...
Great job everyone!

More Kate Fun Backstage....

More Kate fun behind the scenes....
From Liesl Bittner's album "Backstage Antics"....thank you Liesl.....

Some last thoughts....and thank you!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Kiss Me Kate has closed it's curtain for the final time and I want to say thank you to everyone who help make the show a success. A wonderful cast and amazing orchestra; a dedicated crew behind the stage and a fantastic tech group up in the booths. My costumer and props people; and the front of house volunteers and ushers! Wonderful job everyone!

Kate was truly a wonderful experience for myself as a director and theatre-lover. The Barrow is a magical place and we are all lucky for the chance to step out on a first class stage and immerse ourselves in the drama, comedy, and tragedy that is theatre!

The blog will stay up - it is in archive of our journey from auditions to strike and will play host to many of the photo memories. If you have photos of the cast, show, crew - on and off stage - send them to tedsmith.patio@gmail.com and I'll put them up.

From my heart, thank you all.
Ted
