Soggy Sayre

Sayre, PA
Hello Friends!

We had a wonderful show in Keene, NH and were a bit sad to leave our host Judith, but the road calls and we packed up and headed west once again.

Our week in Sayre, PA is going along fine. Sadly this town was devastated a few weeks ago when Tropical Storm Lee came through and created what the locals are calling a "500 Year" flood. Half the town has been flooded out and we often hear people talk of how they do not have a home to go home to or they wonder if their basements are dry enough to re-sheet rock. Thankfully we have arrived at the right time and are giving this community a much needed boost through the joys of theatre. We just wish it would quit raining!

For the past two weeks in Troy and Keene we have had wonderful home stays,
however they were each accompanied by 20 minute commutes to the theatre and back. Not so this week. We are staying at the Virginia Buchmann Guest House which is literally a stone throw away from the Sayre Theater (that is the guest house and theatre and truck all in the same picture). The cast is doing a great job. In fact for the first time in about two months we had to sadly turn kids away - 94 auditioned!

We also had a nice small article in the local paper. It can be found here.

Hope you are staying dry!
