Fandangle practice to start Tuesday
By Sandy Morris
The annual Fandangle Sampler invitations have gone out in the mail, and Fandangle artistic director Lorna Ayers will begin rehearsals next week.
The annual Fandangle Sampler is being held at Reynolds Bend on the Lambshead Ranch on Saturday, April 17.
Open Rehearsals
Ayers said rehearsals for the Sampler will begin on Tuesday, March 23 at the Aztec Theater, and she encourages everyone to attend.
“Rehearsals are open to anyone who wants to be in the show this year,” said Ayers. “We only have six practices to get ready for the Sampler, so don’t wait to start coming.”
Rehearsals will held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
People who would like to be included in reminder texts for rehearsals and other information regarding the show can sign up by texting 81010 with the message @fandan from their cell phones.
The text should give senders an immediate response stating their numbers have been subscribed, as well as give them the link to the ‘Remind App’ to read previous messages.
Memberships
Fandangle office manager Jamie Parsons said memberships continue to pour into the office.
“We are getting a great response to the letters that were mailed out, as well as new membership requests,” said Parsons. “Anyone can become a member of the association even if they don’t receive a letter from our office.”
Memberships are available online by going to www.fandangle.org and clicking on the ‘Join’ box,” or by calling the Fandangle office at 325-762-3838.
Supporters are encouraged to return their membership dues as soon as they can so they can enjoy all the benefits that go along with their charitable contribution to the production of the outdoor musical, including an invitation to the upcoming Sampler.
Summer Shows
The Prairie Theater has been the home of the summer Fandangle shows since it was built in 1965.
This year, four performances are scheduled at the Prairie Theater – June 18, 19, 25, and 26 – starting at 8:30 p.m. each evening.
The annual parade is Saturday, June 19.
