Mary is one of the funniest women I have met.

She had me in stitches most of the time, while commiserating over the 'joys' of operating a theater. When I heard she had written her own show, I knew it had to be as funny as she is, and wanted the opportunity to work with her again.

We have to promote the theater more to generate ticket sales. We want to be able to break even as a theater. We need to generate awareness that First Street Playhouse exists. There are people in town that still don't know we exist.

Each member of the board has made substantial contributions to First Street Playhouse over the past three years, and has a solid understanding of the needs of this theater; I think we will see tremendous growth in the organization during the coming year.

Any and all types of talent are welcome from vocal and instrumental solos and groups, to dancing, to stand-up comedy, to short acting scenes, to anything the imagination allows.

Unless kids are going on the Web page, I am not worried about it. I don't think she will write a script with kiddie porn in it.
