OLIVER And Auditions For THE SOUND OF MUSIC Among THe Gallery Theater's Upcoming Events

The following is the Gallery Theater's upcoming events.

Oliver! opens Friday, September 11 at 7:30 p.m. on the main stage. Tickets are selling fast so don’t wait. The theatrical trailer for Oliver! is now on the website. If you have problems with the link in this newsletter, just go to www.gallerytheater.org and click on the box on the home page for the trailer.

Dickens characters are brought to life-- perhaps larger than life-- with all their facets glowing in this delightful production. The curtain opens on the sinister interior of the workhouse with a bare dining table, center stage, where the boys still sit. From rousing musical numbers of “Food, Glorious Food” to “As Long As He Needs Me,” this musical will delight! Tickets are $15 for adults & $13 for student & seniors.

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Henderson House will hold a one-show-only benefit of Oliver! on Sunday, September 13 at 3:00 p.m. There will be a talk-back after the show lead by Rev. Mark Pedersen of McMinnville Co-Op Ministries.

New Designated Loading Zone:

The new loading zone in front of the theater is now complete. Please note that this is a 24-hour loading/unloading zone. We can’t have anyone parking in that space after traffic patrol hours or the benefit of easy drop off and pick up won’t be there for parents and/or patrons for evening rehearsals and shows. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sidewalk Repairs are Coming:

They have hired a contractor to replace the section of sidewalk in front of the building that has been pushed up and damaged by the tree roots. The work should take place in the next few weeks. Please take extra caution in the meantime until the repairs are completed.

Use Flex Passes Before the End of the Year:

This is a reminder to get those flex passes used up before the end of the year. There are three shows remaining for 2009; Oliver!, Angel Street and Sound of Music.
