“Fame” began rehearsals way back in February 2018 and those two months have been busy for most of the cast but it has been busier for the director, for the set builders, for the costumers and for the backdrop painters.
While the cast has set hours for rehearsals the other activities mentioned have to be done when rehearsals are not going on and sometimes takes days to complete. There are some 35 members of the cast, 20 of which are in the ensemble. There are 10 schools represented by the cast and the cast is mostly teenagers except for the teachers. When you see this show you will be watching the high level of talent we have in bringing you musicals, comedy and drama including directors, cast, painters, carpenters and even the folks that pop your popcorn.
“Fame” is being sponsored by Performance Dodge & Ford and the Sampson Arts Council. Tickets may be purchased now at Inkspot and Matthew’s Gifts.

Thoughts until next week
The past is unchangeable, the future too uncertain, but the present is here now, so enjoy the time you have now because it’s gone in a flash.
If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time.
Beware of false knowledge; It is more dangerous than ignorance.
