Latham Players Year-in-Review: Performances in the 社区

In this blog series, we’re sharing a sampling of the Latham Players’ community events this past year. The group of 14 performers from 买球app官网中心’ Adult Program entertain at venues throughout Cape Cod – singing at church services, 养老院, 和 Latham events, performing on local cable TV, 和 joining with CapeCodCAN in musical productions 和 talent shows.

Human Rights Committee Performance: 7月, a few of our Latham Players attended an 成人服务 Human Rights Committee meeting, performing a short show to the delight of committee members. They spoke first of their positive growth 和 learning experiences as members of the Latham Players, then regaled the assembled audience with songs from “Moana”(Leona R.) 和 “The Lion King” (Max M.Schuyler博士.杰西·S.Leona R.). Ayanna G. also attended as a member of the Players. The meeting was held at 买球app官网中心’ future campus expansion site 和 Training Center on Main Street in Brewster.

才艺表演乐趣： 10月, the Latham Players joined with their friends 和 fellow thespians of CapeCodCAN for the Annual Fall Talent Show at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. At the October 19th performance, “ROOTED IN RHYTHM”, many of our Players sang solos 和 duets, as well as performing as a “jug b和” in the group number – Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Do You Believe in Magic?”, complete with Schuyler D. 作为魔术师. The show included songs such as “Good Morning, Baltimore” (from Hairspray) (Leona R.); “God Gave Me You” (Drew K.); “Thinking Out Loud” (Schuyler D.); “Owner of a Lonely Heart” (Anthony C.); “A Whole New World” (Ayanna G.艾米丽·L.， Jan R.Leona R.); “I Can See Clearly Now” (Jan R.安德里亚·H.尼娜·K.和Jessie S.); 和 “Right Here Waiting For You” (Max M. 玛丽亚·M.)

“This show was a great opportunity for each Player to shine 和 demonstrate the great progress they have made over the past year – not only memorizing but also successfully putting across a musical number,” remarked Dinah Lane, Artistic Director of the Latham Players. Dinah expressed her thanks to members of our extended Latham community for attending this fun 和 upbeat show.

这个周末: On Saturday, December 14th at 1:00, the Players will perform once again as part of CapeCodCAN in a Holiday Concert at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. In addition to vocal selections appropriate to the season, the Players are adding the playing of bells to their repertoire. “The learning of bell pieces has been a great way for many of the Players to explore their musicality in a different medium,” 黛娜说. “I’ve been impressed 和 pleased with how well they have taken to the bells 和 really seem to enjoy them.”

As the year concludes, we’d like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our Latham staff members who assist with supporting the individuals at their rehearsals 和 performances, 和 especially to Dinah Lane for her dedication 和 passion as Artistic Director of the Latham Players.
