<div>Managing Artistic Director</div></b></font></span>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>Hey there you,<br /><br />I hope that each of us had a safe and fun New Year's Eve and a prosperous and happy New Year.<br /><br />2009 is going to be a wonderful year for Confetti Stage. The projects this year are large. Each one reaches out to more and more potential theater goers. Our goal in 2009 is to share our art with as many in our community as possible.<br /><br />Reflecting on 2008, I am pleased to say that even in the face of one or two obstacles, we continued to move forward and create several beautiful pieces of performing art. We gave opportunities that may not have been made available elsewhere to some extremely talented directors, performers, designers, technicians, and admins. For that alone, I am extremely proud of the organization, our organization, all of the casts and crews, and each of us that in some way helped to create in 2008.<br /><br />Thinking back, it feels like years since Triptych opened in February or since the Masonic Hall Theater was covered in burlap, garbage bags, tree branches, and filled with a cast of children and adults who each night built the Bridge to Terabithia. Triptych and A Matter of Grace saw the main stage directing debuts of</div>
<div>Valerie Portanova and Lynn Scott. The 4th Annual Short Play Festival was larger than any of the previous 3 festivals and came with the Confetti Stage directing debuts of Peter Keller, John Schmiederer, Dan Kelly, Aaron Holbritter, Anna Groper, and Tracy Blowers. Returning to direct in this year's festival were Jeffrey P. Hocking and Valerie Portanoval. And let's not forget my last minute walk on during the festival's first weekend. Fun times!! One of the best productions I have had the pleasure of working on, The House of Yes, fought against ice and snow but endured with the help of a walk on performance by Lynn Scott, filling in for the iced in Rie Lee. Again, Fun Times!!<br /><br />These accomplishments all sound much smaller when listed in reflection, but we all know that each of these productions and the continuation of Theatre Without Limits is a huge undertaking that could not exist without each of you. For your contribution, I THANK YOU!<br /><br />It is my hope that 2009 allows our paths to cross once again. Our 5th Anniversary Season is complete with 5 choices that are sure to be favorites.<br /><br />A Thousand Clowns in February<br />Romeo & Juliet in April/May</div>
<div>The Rocky Horror Show in June<br />5th Annual Short Play Festival in Sep /Oct & Little Women in December<br /><br />There are still several positions open for each of these productions. Let me know ASAP which show(S) you might be interested in being a part of and let's start creating together. You might surprise yourself with how creative you are. Visit our website for the full list of opportunities available.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I sincerely hope that each of you views 2009 & Confetti Stage's 5th Anniversary Season as an opportunity to stay involved, try new things, create, learn, and have fun being part of something special.<br /><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR!<br /></div>
<div>Sincerely,<br /><br />Neilson R. Jones<br />President & Managing Artistic Director<br />Confetti Stage, Inc.<br />518-253-1253<br />www.confettistage.com</div>
