Curtain
Closes on 2003 Summer Season
The 2003 summer season featured two
outstanding productions.
Our 17th Annual Children‚s Theatre Workshop Production staged the Southern
Illinois premiere of the new musical, "HONK". A rousing, colorful,
and, at times, poignant look at prejudice and the celebration of our differences
gave audiences both a time to laugh and a time to laugh at themselves. A special
"thank you" goes to all of the parents of the cast for "loaning"
us your precious children for a few weeks. We hope their experience with the
Pyramid Players was a positive one and that we were able to foster a love and
appreciation for theatre within each young person involved.
