About Shoestring Theatre Inc.
The theater is good family entertainment, even for established families. Many shows have several members of one family on stage, or in tech working together. When Jennifer Weeks came into Shoestring she was the fourth generation in Little Theater work, three generations at Shoestring- (David Miller, our treasurer, and 50-year handyman, Anne, Miller, and Jennifer) When Bob Sollien and Anne married, all four were in shows together.
Come out to an audition, as listed on the schedule card, and volunteer. Remember that it is not all acting. There is set construction, painting in the artistic sense, painting sets, lights and sound, props, ushering, and many other things. It is a real thrill to see the finished product and knows you had a hand in it. Five-year-old Emily Cara in "The Sound of Music" looked up after her first curtain call and said, "They Clapped! I didn't know they were going to clap. I liked that!"
