Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa
Claus |
|
Inspired by a simple, poignant letter
written over 100 years ago by 8-year-old
Virginia O'Hanlon to the editor of the
New York Sun and by the timeless
editorial response printed on the front
page of the Sun.
Virginia wondered and wrote: "Dear
Editor, I am eight years old. Some of my
little friends say there is no Santa
Claus. Papa says if you see it in the
Sun, it's so. Please tell me the truth.
Is there a Santa Claus?" Ed Mitchell,
the Sun's editor, gives the assignment
of answering Virginia's letter to Frank
Church who, until his wife and baby died
last Christmas Eve, was the Sun's best
and most dependable reporter.
Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus is
a play for young and old, magically
reaffirming life's highest beauty and
joy "the eternal light with which
childhood fills the world."
Performances: November 29, 30, December
1, 6, 7, 8 at 8:00 pm, December 2 and 9
at 2:30 pm. Check here for the

Kelly Slusarick is season's 2nd director
|
|
Kelly developed a love of the fine arts
as a very young child, beginning with
art and piano lessons in kindergarten.
She attended the NC School of the Arts
as a music major (piano), then switched
to theatre, as it better encompassed all
of her creative passions! She graduated
from Brevard College with an Associate
Degree in Fine Arts, then transferred to
East Carolina where she received a
degree in Theatre Education K-12.
Kelly has taught MANY creative classes
and lessons (piano, art, music, theatre
and musical theatre) in a variety of
educational settings. She has taught
theatre at the high school and grade
school levels, and has led various
children's choirs and music programs.
She has also written several musicals,
and has a passion for designing and
painting sets and backdrops as well.
She teaches our children's drama
classes - Acting Up!- here
at The Old Courthouse Theatre. Kelly has
directed Charlotte's Web and
Bridge To Terabithiaat Old
Courthouse Theatre as well as been
involved behind the scenes in many other
shows the past two seasons. She gives a
special thanks to Heather, Trent and
"Miss Anne" - as well as her husband
Scot and two precious daughters, Sarah
and Zoe. |

Capital Campaigns
|
|
We have two different Paver Campaigns
currently in progress. Even though the
parking lot looks better with the new
striping, there is a need to completely
replacement the pavement. This will
cost approximately $30,000.
We are also looking into the very real
probability that our Air Conditioning
systems will need to be replaced before
next summer. Preliminary quotes for
that job are approximately $50,000.
You can purchase a paver for our grotto
area with your name, family, or
business, and direct the funds directly
into whichever campaign you choose. If
you like, you can also just make a
donation to either campaign. The small
bricks are $150.00, while the larger
ones are $500.00. Email
info@oldcourthousetheatre.org for
more information. |
