Mike Fleetwood is inviting all OTS members and friends to register for the 4th Annual Marine Corps League Golf Tournament being held at Heritage Shores Club on Friday, April 29, 2016.

Message from Mike:

Our Marine Corps League Detachment supports our community in many different ways. The monies we raise from our golf tournament funds the many projects and donations we support. I personally would appreciate our members getting on board with us to make our golf tournament successful.

The Marine Corps League is a supporter of our own OTS Golf Tournament.

Greetings Old Friends, New Friends, Families and Broadway-Style Musical Lovers –

Here, now, the news:

· Business promotional purse-strings are opening to provide on-stage product and logo placements in FEARLESS! première performances (See below).

In addition to gaining the “quiet” attention of captive audiences, these arrangements —combined with individual patron-of-the-arts sponsors— include news release mentions, program ads and acknowledgements, and are helping to cover production costs. Why? Because when production expenses are paid, ticket sale proceeds can then be donated to three top area charities:

o Habitat for Humanity

o the (nonprofit) nationally renowned Bryan Symphony Orchestra

o the Mustard Seed Ranch for assisting high-risk-endangered children.

· You last saw Artistic/Stage Director Mark Creter’s terrific credentials. We are pleased to announce that Mark’s wife, Jennifer-Dotson Creter (Stage One Dance Studio) with an impressive list of chorographical stage accomplishments will be the FEARLESS! Choreographer. And attached (above) to this email are the credentials for our truly outstanding Music Director Mendy Richards.

· The new Nashville-produced documentary video: The Creation of FEARLESS! has now made its debut appearance on the website. Simply click on the title link.

· YES: PBS-TV will be producing a 5-camera video of the entire performance, audience included, for post-performance (can be pre-ordered) sales. YES: A successful “Women’s Patron-of-the-Arts” fundraising tea was held on January 16th and YES: A Live Art Auction will be held of diverse creations and media representations of “FEARLESS!” at the Magical Muse Gallery on April 15th.

· The magazine article draft sent to you (just before New Year’s) was reproduced in full as a news feature on the homepage of AMAC (the rival to AARP) on January 21st and then distributed a week later via email newsletter to AMAC’s 1.5 million Member-Subscribers nationwide. It was reproduced again by two other online newsletters. Click here to see the final version.

· Top technical stage lighting and audio engineer teams have been recruited and are presently working on plans to best represent the complex stage lighting and sound equipment for the theatre’s largest (24-piece) orchestra – larger, incidentally, than in the available history of almost all Broadway musicals as well!

· BEEN WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE OUT YOUR ON-STAGE PERFORMANCE DREAM? Open audition tryouts will take place at Tennessee Tech University on May 2, 3 and 4 . . . 44 on-stage actors, actresses, singers and dancers will be recruited. Online registration is required for advance scheduling.

So, that’s the whole kit and caboodle! We are delighted to hear so many of you are making the trek here, and we so much look forward to seeing you for this special experience. When you order online tickets remember to let us know the date you choose so we can be sure not to miss you! Also note that the $16 tickets go to just $10 when you order 3 or more!!!

HAPPY END OF FEBRUARY AND BEGINNING OF MARCH TO YOU AND YOURS – Hal & Val

Two 90-year-old men, Phil and Joe, had been friends all of their lives. When it was clear that Phil was dying, Joe visited him every day.

One day Joe said, "Phil, we both loved playing softball all our lives, and we played all through high school. Please do me one favor: when you get to heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's softball there."

Phil looked up at Joe from his deathbed and said, "Joe, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you."

Shortly after that, Phil died. A few nights later, Joe was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him, "Joe, Joe ."

"Who is it," asked Joe, sitting up suddenly. "Who is it?"

"Joe -- it's me, Phil"

"You're not Phil . Phil just died."

"I'm telling you, it's me, Phil," insisted the voice.

"Phil Where are you?"

"In heaven," replied Phil. "I have some really good news and a little bad news."

"Tell me the good news first," said Joe.

"The good news," Phil said with joy and enthusiasm, "is that there is softball in heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before me are here, too. Even better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always Springtime and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play ball all we want, and we never get tired. And we get to play with all the Greats of the past."

"That's fantastic," said Joe "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?"

"You're pitching Tuesday."

Life is uncertain - Eat dessert first!!!
