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.

Cast Photo Reminder
Cast and Crew -
Don't forget to order your cast photos. The order forms are on the piano garage in the Green Room. Fill out the form, place it and your money/check in an envelope with your name on the outside.....
Garrett Kline is doing the Kate photo...he will deliver them to the theatre and then we'll get them out to everyone - usually within a couple of weeks we get them. Be sure to indicate if you want a Cast Only, Cast and Crew, Cast and Crew/Director....and he offers several sizes!
You have to place your Cast Photo order by the end of the show on Sunday.....
Thanks
