| Fifth Golden Ticket Winner | The winner of our 5th Golden Ticket was given her Wonka Candy Bar after the final performance of Willy Wonka on December 21. Pictured here receiving her Florida Sweets' candy basket from Rick Kerby, is Jordan Boezem, who appeared in the production as an Oompa Loompa. Jordan's parents, Joanne and Jerry (seen behind her), purchased the candy bar as a memento of her participation in the show. Imagine their surprise when it had a Golden Ticket inside! In addition, Jordan was awarded four 1-day passes to Disney World and gift cards to Mattison's.
Congratulations also to the 4 previous Golden Ticket Winners: Kristi Woodruff, Debbie Crowe, Mary & Peter Ruscoe and Jerry Miller.

| Announcing... Broadway Boot Camp
Summer, 2009 
| | Registration has begun for our highly-acclaimed and outrageously popular Summer program, Broadway Boot Camp. The three-week camp begins on July 6th and runs through July 24th with a performance on the 24th, two performances on July 25th and a matinee on the 26th. Campers aged 8 - 17 are in training/rehearsals from 9am - 5pm each weekday. Cost for the program is $600 and a $200 deposit will reserve a space now. Phone 941-748-0111 for more information. Last year's Grease was a tremendous success and the camp had a waiting list. We anticipate that many former campers will be returning again this Summer, so don't wait too long to register. |
