Woodhull: The
First Woman to run for President
is a wonderful dramedy about
Victoria Woodull, an original Suffragist
and as mentioned in the title, she is
the first woman to run for President of
The United States! I play 'Yeller' - the
precocious Journalist who makes
Victoria's campaign very difficult! This

Thumbelina: The Story of a Brave
Little Girl is a reinvention of
the
beloved classic, emphasizing themes of

Both productions are well worth the
trip! Woodhull is sure to cause a stir
not only because of the high level
production but also because we are in an
election year! Thumbelina is a joy for
kids 2-92 with a heartfelt story and 4
very talented actors!! I hope all is
well in everyone lives and that your
summer is a blast so far!
He adds. "I hope that you can make it to
one of the productions and look forward
to seeing you soon!!"
