Thank you!

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for participating in our audition process for the production of Harvey.

I look forward to working with all of the actors in both Harvey and the First Annual Jenkintown Theater Arts Show Case.

Those of you in the cast of Harvey should begin to learn your lines.  

Those cast members in the Show Case should research material they might like to perform.  When we return from winter break, we will begin to formalize our vision for this performance.

Happy New Year to all!!

Lys

Harvey Cast List

Dear Friends,

I will post the cast list tonight.

Please check the blog from now on for all updated information regrading Harvey. There are many members of our cast who are not yet on Face Book.

It has taken a while to think through the possibilities and roles that work best for the actors who auditioned.

I know that you will enjoy working together, as well as supporting our new generation of fine actors who want to work side-by-side with you and learn.

Happy Holiday and New Year!

Lys
