The Evergreen Players were the first theatre group to hire me after I moved to Denver from Southern California. I had a healthy theatre resume yet no Colorado credits. Most people wanted to see if I would actually stay in Denver and suggested I interview again in a year or so. Kathleen Davis and the Players took a chance on this unknown California transplant. And the rest, as they say, is history. I took the first directing assignment because, frankly, I was hungry to work. Since then, I have continued my friendship with the Players because I believe in their goal to present quality theatre with integrity and ambition. And, because they're a delightful group to play with. Steel Magnolias is my seventh show with the Evergreen Players and I am delighted to be directing this production with its talented cast and staff. Steel Magnolias has been in the number one slot on my "Dream List" of shows to direct for 10 years now. My wish for the Evergreen Players and my request of you, the viewing audience, is to fill the Center/Stage Theatre at every performance of each production. Community theatre, and any theatre, needs an audience to keep it fresh and alive. We theatre people love to play and share our passion through story telling. Little by little the word is spreading "down the hill" that "there is good theatre in Evergreen." This is the one "best kept secret" we mustn't keep to ourselves. "Spread the word, and they will come."
