A pop culture phenomenon is coming to the Carroll Community Theatre stage! The Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful songs is instructing a whole new generation to “Unpack Your Adjectives” and “Do The Circulation,” and is lighting up stages everywhere and can be seen in Carroll this July.

Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such beloved “Schoolhouse Rock” songs as “Just A Bill,” “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction.”

Young children being introduced to the catchy tunes of “School House Rock” for the first time to “Generation X-ers” seeking a taste of nostalgia will delight in this sure-fire entertainment that’s simply good, clean – and educational – fun. CCT proudly presents…

Costume Rentals-

Next time you need to costume your child for a school activity think of the CCT first. We will gladly rent costumes for school events, private parties, Halloween or any other occasion where you would need a costume. Our rental rates are reasonable and we have quite a variety to choose from- all the way from cave man to medieval to the 60’s dude and then some. Recently we were able to dress “Juliet Lowe” “Queen Elizabeth I” and a Gibson Girl for History Day at the Carroll Community School District. Just call the CCT at 792-6780 and leave a message or call Laura at 830-9514.

 

CCT Wrap Up 


The Story of the Nutcracker – A Play with Dance

For the first time, CCT and Fusion Dance Carroll presented this wonderful play with dance in December 2007. It was a festival for the eyes and ears filled with dreams of sugar plums, queens, mice, toy makers, nutcrackers; dancing that took your breath away; a “growing” Christmas tree; bright costumes, and music to enchant and delight all.

Directed by Laura Comito and choreographed by Deb and Justin Quandt, the show incorporated dancers and actors from age 5 thru 80. It was a show for all ages and one the audience exclaimed, “this is what Christmas is all about!”

So if you missed the performance, don’t fret, Carroll Community Theatre and Fusion Dance plan on bringing back the “magic” again in December of 2008. More songs, dancing, sets, costumes will be added but the same story will presented – one of believing in the magic of dreams. See you in December!!!

THANK YOU!

Put a Little Drama into Your Life ... From the President’s Desk

When one door closes… At the Annual Meeting on January 18th, 2008 the CCT/CAC had to say goodbye to two very important members of the Board of Directors. Maria White, treasurer and Susan Murphy have finished their terms on the board and are stepping back. These two women have meant so much to me in my years of president. They were more than board members, much more. They are friends, family, confidants, adversaries at times, critics and cheerleaders. I am going to miss you both- Miss Maria and Susan. Another one opens… Welcome Katie Jarvis to the Carroll Community Theatre/ Carroll Arts Council Board of Directors. It’s great to see someone new to the area want to jump in and get involved! Katie was a huge help behind the scenes for the Dinner Theatre last October running lights and sound effects. I am looking forward to working with you and the returning board members for the 2008/09 season!

Laura Comito, President
