At the end of the day there is something inexplicably powerful about a bunch of humans in a room watching a bunch of other humans create something where previously there was just empty space. Video can be watched over and over, but theatre is about the creation of a moment. What lingers after the moment is the emotion inspired in each individual in the audience.
Theatre is powerful, and somehow has an element of magic to it. Each cast member alone has put over zoo hours into this show. Then you add musicians, choreography and production hours and you simply could not do it if you had to pay. Fortunately, everyone is donating their time, and local businesses and individuals have come on board to help defray the cost of mounting the show. The community support has been amazing. The dedication of the cast and crew has been outstanding. It has indeed been a gruelling schedule of rehearsals and public appearances and every volunteer involved must be congratulated.
Just the Boys has proved for the second year running that people just love to be entertained. We have already had numerous requests to appear at functions after the season, and We are exploring options for keeping 'The Boys' going. We'll be looking forward to your continued support!! Thanks to everyone who made this show a success - you the audience and our sponsors. We hope you have as much fun watching the show as we do performing it for you tonight!
