Hello to all cast and family of "HONK",
from Mrs. P-

I am still catching up on my sleep, my house work and my clean-up from the cast party, but I wanted to take a moment to say "thanks" one more time. You were such a great group to work with and the parents were so supportive and helpful, it made my director's job very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

You should all be so proud of what you accomplished this summer. No matter how many shows you are in, each one is different. And as we know...different is OK. You can learn something new from each show that you do. So, 'Hold your head up high' and 'Believe in yourself'!
You are all SWANS!!

I have a few 'lost and found' items at my home, so if you are missing any of the following, please call or stop by to pick them up. I will leave them on my front entry-way for a few days.
- a bag of clothes (mostly green)
- a bag of clothes (mostly white)
- a pair of sunglasses
- several Tupperware containers
- an oval plastic serving tray
- two green MCS water bottles
- an 'autographed' program (mostly black marker)
- a (Swiss army knife-like) gadget that was left on the sound cabinet back stage

We are also missing a Nintendo DS with a 'Littlest Petshop' case cover, that was thought to be in Mrs. Meredith's music room.

I hope that you all will have an enjoyable last 3 weeks of summer and don't forget to keep in touch with your new TMP friends. You never know where these friendship will lead.

Blessings to all,
Susan Pendergast

Calling all Timothy Murphy Playhouse Alumni!

This year marks the 15th TMP musical production! If you have been in any of the previous shows, we need your help.

We are compiling a list of all past cast members for a “Where are They Now?” spot in this year’s program. If you have continued your involvement in theater in any way, please let us know. If your life has gone in a different direction, we want to know that, too. Maybe you can share with us how your experience in TMP has helped you in your school or work experience. For example, maybe you were able to control your nerves before a big interview or speech, or maybe you won a trivia contest because you knew that the town of Gary is in Indiana.

We are also planning to use some of this information for a publicity article in local papers.

You can submit your information in one of the following ways:
§ Email Betsy Meredith: betsymeredith@gmail.com
§ Post your info as a comment to this posting
§ Post your info on the Timothy Murphy Playhouse Face Book page

Please share this request with you others so that we can hear from as many people as possible. This year’s show is “Honk!” on the weekend of August 14, 15, and 16. Hope to see you there!
