We would like to specially thank those who helped put the new paint on the Art Center walls. Also deserving gratitude is Board President Bobbie Stave. She, with input from Wes and myself, has been very busy updating and giving our website the reconstruction needed so that it is now the go-to site to find out whatever you may want to know about the Art's Center.
We apologize for the lateness of this issue. With the Holidays and then tax preparation, we were unable to start gathering information until late January.

Congratulations to you both!The dance classes have begun again with a series of guest instructors. What an incredible opportunity for our students growth as they learn from these talented artists. The variety of teaching styles and choreography have given the students a wealth of information adding vastly to their educational experience.

Summer Theatre
We are delighted to announce that our 2007 Summer Show will be The Wizard of Oz!! This play is a favorite among many generations, and has been produced all over the country for many happy decades! The big news this summer, however, is that we have arranged for our performances to be held in an AIR CONDITIONED space! Rehearsals will be held at Kingswood, but performances will be at the brand new stage at Alton, so watching the show should be even better than ever!We are also glad to announce that Heather Hamilton has found she is able to come south to be with us again this summer.
Heather writes:
"This fall has been full of projects for me and Benjamin! I'm teaching at PSU, directing the drama program at Lin-wood, and am just wrapping up the fifth production I've worked on since seeing you last! Also, Benny and I got married (!) in September, so the last 4 months have been a real whirlwind of fun and happy things! One of the VERY fun things of the last four months has been picking the summer show for the WACAC. Many of you wonderful students had told us that you wanted to do Wizard of Oz, and so we are delighted to be able to fulfill that wish! You all have excellent taste- this is a FANTASTIC show!
...We all hope that you can join us this summer for our production of The Wizard of Oz! I encourage those of you who are interested to consider early registration, as this helps us prepare more efficiently for our summer!"
We would like to take a moment to congratulate Heather on her nomination for Best Actress for 'Twelfth Night' by the NH Theatre Awards. Their website is here: http://www.nhtheatreawards.com/index.php .
