Andy's Summer Playhouse
Theater by Children for People of All Ages.
See what's in store for the 2009 Season!
Auditions for our 2009 Season have passed, but we are still looking to expand our Conservatory program. If you are interested in joining us, please email us at: auditions@andyssummerplayhouse.org.
Pre- & Post- Program
Most of you know that Andy's rehearsals are generally four hours long: 10-2, 2-6, or 6-10 (these numbers are probably very familiar!). Andy's understands that for many parents and guardians who work during the day it can be hard to be home for your actors in the morning or to pick them up and be home in the evening. And Andy's wants to help.
Recognizing this problem, Andy's would like to present the Pre- & Post- Program, a way for parents and guardians to drop off early or pick up late while ensuring that their charges will be supervised the whole time by dedicated staff. In this program, participants will have the opportunity to work alongside our designers, making props or painting sets; they will be able to learn lines and play theater games, and much more.
Signing up will be easy. Adults can prepay for as many hours as they anticipate using, and throughout the season your account will be debited accordingly.
A Round of Applause
Over the years, hundreds of artists have worked with Andy's. From New York, from Boston and LA, from all over the country they have come to be a part of our unique and wonderful theater. But there are some who have given more than just a summer, more than just a few months from their year, taking on leadership roles and influencing countless youth in the process.
Bob Lawson is one of those people. As the artistic director of Andy's for the past decade, Bob has helped to shape Andy's. With his unbridled imagination he has produced play after play after play, and when we couldn't conceive of anyone being able to create something more, sure enough, he did.
As Bob moves on to other projects and leaves Andy's in the hands of those he directed, we hope it is understood that any momentum with which we move forward is fueled by the community he helped to inspire. Andy's will never forget those who helped to give it life.
Thank you Bob Lawson, and your family.

New Staff Announcements for Summer, 2009
We are thrilled to announce that DJ Potter has agreed to officially become the Artistic Director of Andy's Summer Playhouse. His dedication to Andy's over his many years of involvement is unparalleled, and we know he will bring Andy's to wonderful new heights.
In addition Andy's is very excited to announce that Jaimie Harrow and Mark Haley, who were both centrally involved with the amazing fundraising effort this winter, have agreed to come on board as Managing Directors.
Andy's would like to thank, from the bottom of our heart, the Andy's Development Committee - a group of alumni and staff who came together to make this coming season happen. Megan Murphy, Kirsten White, Erik White, Sheila Nichols, DJ Potter, Mark Haley, and Jaimie Harrow - they've been working tirelessly for the betterment of Andy's, and we're all very appreciative.
This is a time of renewal and growth for Andy's, and what better way to set sail than with former Andy's Kids at the helm?
Stay tuned for news as more details of our coming summer become available.

Thank you to all who attended the Winter Gala and helped us save the playhouse!
Since the end of October we have raised over $30,000. The response has been so inspired that we have decided to up our goal and reach for $40,000. For this effort we will be focusing on business sponsorship, foundations, and grants. If you or anyone you know has experience in these areas we would love the help! Just send an email to fundraising@andyssummerplayhouse.org
