May 19, 2009 Coweta Students Abby Mortensen & Kelsi Adams
In Backyard Kids Theatre Production of Cinderella On June 13 & 14
Lisa Sunderman McCauley, the General Manager of the Fayette-based Backyard Kids Theatre, has announced that there will be two Coweta County students involved in the Theatre's production of Cinderella next month. Abby Mortensen, a fifth grade student at Cannongate Elementary School, will be playing the role of the cloth merchant and will be among those cast members singing solos. Kelsi Adams, a 17 year old student at Northgate High School will be serving on the Creative Team as the Make-Up & Hair Co-ordinator. The idea of kids putting on their own theatrical production was formed by Paige McCauley, Camille Edwards, and Chase Thomaston and is supported by their parents. Consequently this theatrical troupe is organized, managed, and supervised by the McCauley, Edward, and Thomaston families. Its mission is to allow high school and middle school students to use their creativity in directing, casting, acting, and choreographing the shows themselves. It also provides opportunities for talented middle school performers to take parts that they usually would not be permitted to take due to their age. Additional information can be found on their website http://backyardkidstheatre.org. The website carries this announcement about their next show, Cinderella:  Music by Richard Rodgers Books and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Adapted for the Stage by Tom Briggs From the Teleplay by Robert L. Freedman
