Vacation Weekend is Over, now it's back to work!

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well? How was every one's Memorial Day weekend? Mine was pretty awesome. It was great to relax, go out, BBQ, hang with friends, and enjoy a weekend of pushing responsibilities aside. Well, that has ended today. It's time to get back to reality and back to work.

The next two weeks are going to be extremely busy for us. The entire company will gear up and do the work necessary to pull off our 5th anniversary Gala Bash (The Bootleg Revue). With just two weeks left to the big day we still have lots of planning and preparations to do, such as food, sound, decorations, auction items, rehearsals, script, PR, setup schedule, crew shifts, etc...

I know I talk about preparations and go into details about the behind the scenes action since this is the area I oversee, but I'm sure you, the reader is excited about one part. The talent!! The singers!! The performers who are going to be performing these wonderful musical numbers for you. We have incredible talent lined up. I have to personally thank Guy Olivieri who worked magic to put together an exciting and great show for you. What you see on stage will be there because of Guy. You might recognize some of the names (Kat Sherrell, Natalie Wilson, Natalie Douglas, Matt Hardy, Randy Klein, Gay Marshall, Marcie Henderson, Kyle Ewalt, Jillian Louis, Kevin McWilliams, Cole Burden, Rob Maitner, Molly Pope, Casey Densler, Michael Hicks, Karen Culp, Franklin Golden) and we also have the band "Happy Ending" singing some songs from their album Turn It On. Doesn't it sound like a great night???





Now here is the most important work we need to do this upcoming week - sell tickets!! Aren't you excited to see these talented individuals strut their stuff on stage? Let's make a deal, while I work with the company to get the show together, you work on getting people to join us for what will be an evening full of fun! Go to our website now to purchase tickets. Seats will go fast, so don't miss out. Again, our Gala is going be next Saturday, June 12th from 8-12, near Union Square, with great food, drinks, and of course, performances from all members of the company. Singing things from past shows, doing skits, and we are even going to have a pinata. Visit our website, http://www.groundupproductions.org/. to get tickets. Your purchase includes food, all you can drink, and a show. The truth is, your ticket will help us have another season and produce our upcoming world premiere. This is our biggest fundraising evening so we really need you there.

Come join us and in the meantime, I will forget my vacation weekend and get back to work!!
