Be on the lookout for the "Hairy Man"! He is reported to be heading to Toyama, Japan in time for the World Festival of Children’s Performing Arts. Wiley, Mamma and the rest of the cast are hot on his trail. They've been chaising around the country and every time they trick him, he moves on. They've chased him from Cloquet to Fergus Falls and then to Brooklyn Center. Next he headed out of state to Salina, Kansas and then on to Rochester, New York. And now nearly a year later he is on his way to Toyama, Japan. We wish them all "Break a Leg".
County Seat Theater Company could use your help. While the festival helps them out once they get there, getting to Japan is entirely their problem. While they have already raised thousands of dollars, they are still considerably short of the funds they will need. If you or your theatre is willing and able to donate to their trip, information is on their website (Click Here). They are representing all of us in the Minensota (and even USA) theatre community, so lets send them off in style. Any amout would be appreciated.
