Busy June is Boon for Barn

Maryanna Lauter and Madison Krumins play sisters in The Amish Project
You might assume that the Farmington Players Barn Theater is a quiet place during the summer months now that the 2014-15 season is over.  But as soon as the calendar turned from May to June, activities started heating up again at the Barn.  Whether you’re a member, a patron, or just looking for something fun to do, here are some upcoming dates to put on your calendar.

The Amish Project. Friday June 12 8PM and Saturday June 13 8PM. Complete with its own symbolic Barn raising, The Amish Project is coming home for a command performance after wowing audiences at the Michigan AACTFest competition in Owosso, where Maryanna Lauter received the “Rising Actor” award and Steve White received the “Featured Actor” award. This heartfelt portrayal of events surrounding an Amish schoolhouse shooting is really about the power of forgiveness.  Tickets available online at farmingtonplayers.org

Stage Manager Workshop. Sunday June 14 1:00 – 5:00 PM.  Dave Reinke will be holding a Stage Manager Workshop to demonstrate techniques for how to call a show "The Barn Way.”  FREE to all members and $10 for non-members. Email Dave with any questions at dreinke472@aol.com

Barbeque and Annual Membership Meeting. Saturday June 20 6:00PM.  Come at 6:00 for a BBQ with hot dogs, hamburgers and all the fixin’s and please bring a dish to pass.  At 7:00, we will have an important meeting including the election of the Board of Directors, a preview of Bylaws changes, and fun presentations by committee chairs.  Board candidates include:  Pat Doman, Dave Gilkes, Kandi Krumins, Kristi Schwartz [incumbent], Tony Targan [incumbent], and Tim Timmer.  Voting instructions are in the May Barnstorms, including absentee voting by email by 6/19 to vote@farmingtonplayers.org.  List the names of up to 4 selected candidates in the body of your email and sign the message with your own name. Maureen Mansfield will review email votes, which shall remain confidential.

Boeing Boeing auditions.  Sunday June 28 (12:30 registration).  This hilarious farce directed by Anne Craft (Rick Mickley, A.D.) is sure to please Barn audiences, so please come audition for the first show of our 2015-16 season, which runs September 25 – October 10.  This six-person ensemble cast includes two men and four women ranging in age from 28-60.  Audition notice on the Barn webpage and at http://farmingtonplayers.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/AuditionNoticeBoeingBoeing.pdf
