Okay.. as hard is this is to believe. Washington State University, home of the cougars, has officially cut the Drama and Dance department. No major or minor. This is absolutely nuts to me! How about no new uniforms for the football team. Thats an idea! This is especially difficult as Ray Pritchard left us to take a job in that very department. Its not every day someone you know gets there dreams to come true.. but it does seem all to common to have them ripped away. We are here for you Ray and we all love you. Anything you need you let us know.

On a nicer note, we have selected a cast for All The Great Books. I hope to do this in the fall. We have Shannon and Ian returning from the last play and have invited Mike Lynch to join us. Mike has been in a lot of plays around here including lead roles so we are excited to have him take part in this bit of slapstick silliness. I have also asked his wife, Stefani Lynch to produce. She is very experienced in this area and I hope to learn a lot since I seem to think I should direct. I who have never been in a play or directed or produced ANYTHING. My credits are that I make posters and an occasional prop. What could possibly go wrong?
Our first read through will be in July. Wish me luck :)
