On The Road by Marybeth Clark

I am trying something new this summer. I will be guest directing for the Chenango River Theatre outside Binghamton NY. “Don’t you do enough of that around here?” you might ask and several have and the answer is”yes, but…..”I couldn’t quite pass up the opportunity to work with a new company in a new setting. Actually it won’t be all new people, the Producing Artistic Director, Bill Lelbach cast me in one of my first Equity shows twenty years ago. That is pretty common in theatre, finding old friends. It is one reason why I am able to say goodbye to our resident actors every season, I know it is just a matter of time until I work with them again. So I am spending my ‘vacation’ doing theatre, but am very excited. I will even manage a stop at Hershey Park to visit Autumn Seavey (last season’s Belle) along the way. I will be back in time to welcome our Resident Actors for season 31 and, of course, to direct HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL for SummerStage. Hope your summer is off to a great start. See you in July         Marybeth Clark, Associate Artistic Director
