We just closed our production of Annie and it was a rousing success by all standards. We had 9 performances and all of them were nearly or completely sold out. The response has been terrific. People came from all over the state and even Georgia to see the show. Best of all, it got a buzz in Greenville, and the snobby Greenville theatre people came to see the show and were genuinely impressed. See Easley, we can be great. 
I had the distinct pleasure of playing Ms. Hannigan opposite some pretty fantastic actors. Meredith as Lily and Kenny as Rooster were so much fun to be bad guys with. I had a blast. And the orphans were terrific. I grew especially fond of McKenna Crosby as Molly and Stevie as Annie. They were so good!
Next up on our stage is our outlandish comedy, They Came From Mars and Landed Outside the Farndale Avenue Church in Time for the Townswomen's Guild's Coffee Morning. I'm not directly involved, but I'm sure I will be around a good bit.

I had no idea that you got to play Ms. Hannigan! What a fun role! Did you try to do it as much like Carol Burnett as you could, or did you give it your own spin? How do you prepare for a famous role like that--do you study rude people to get ideas?
