Behind-the-Scenes Talents Take the Stage for Annie Get Your Gun
The Twilight Theatre brings local talent to center stage in its upcoming production of the perennial favorite, Annie Get Your Gun. "I'm very impressed with the amount of talent we have right here in our own backyard," says Annie Get Your Gun Director Beth Nicholson. "It's fun to see another side of people you've seen for years at church or in the grocery store. Not only will the audience be entertained by the dancing, shooting, and recognizable music, they're going to enjoy seeing their friends, neighbors, and relatives in a new light."
By day, Hannah Beth Potter is the Choral Director at McIntosh High School , and currently by night, she's the scrappy Annie Oakley. Mike Houghtaling, owner of ProMotion Video, can normally be found behind a video camera, but he'll soon be in the spotlight as Colonel Buffalo Bill Cody. Keith White, owner of several area NAPA Auto Parts stores, steps on stage as the witty and cunning Charlie Davenport. Rhonda Williams can usually be found in the pet boutique called Wags to Whiskers where she sells unique goodies for dogs and cats, but come September, she'll be taking the stage as the snobbish Sylvia Potter-Porter.
And not all the local talent is on stage. Twilight is delighted to be working once again with choreographer Kathy Senger of Peachtree City School of Dance. Mike Daniell, who works by day as the Music Director of North Fayette United Methodist Church , recently directed the Peachtree Wind Ensemble for Twilight's production of Oliver! Now Mike and the Peachtree Wind Ensemble are back for Annie Get Your Gun. "I am always so impressed with the amount of local talent we have and their willingness to dedicate their time in order to put on such a quality production," said Alison Chambers, Artistic Director of The Twilight Theatre.
Annie Get Your Gun will be performed at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater September 18, 19, 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. Ticket are $15 for adults and $13 for students and seniors and can be purchased at Mimi's Good Food and Wags to Whiskers in Peachtree City; online at
