Mom (at left, with bassist Greg) and Dan (at right, directing) were our vocal and music directors.

 


The town welcomes Conrad
 


Conrad tells Kim he has a lot
of living that he needs to do

  
Conrad's fans are getting a little too carried away in their adoration!
   
 

During vocal warm-ups and notes, we have brief moments of levity and goofing off. But mostly it's rehearsing and the business of acting.

And still the fun never ends. Here the casts from Birdie and West Side Story join up at our favorite karaoke place; the girls croon to the boys, as they sing to each other Summer Nights.
