Production Notes:
The production staff of "Annie Get Your Gun" underwent a major change. The position of Senior High Band/Choral Director was vacated by Mr. George Lesh and filled by Mr. George Fennell. Mr. Fennell, doin' what comes naturally, became the shows music director along with Mrs. Roeder as dramatic director. One thing remembered by the cast & crew, was the misfiring of Annie's gun in the competition sequence. Dialogue could never be coordinated with the tempermental firearm. One performance, Mr. Fennell even yelled, "BANG" from the pit! The show's 54 cast member led by Geoff Hughes, Beverly Frable, Dave Overholt, Larry Williams, Bianca Rauch, and Keith Symons completed two successful performances in April of 1973.
