My name is Betty Jean and I would like to share my photo album with you.
I’m really not sure how this works but my home ec teacher said I could just type on this really cool typewriter and my story would get out. I guess this is the way newspapers are written, right?
Well, anyway, like I said, my name is Betty Jean (that’s me with the basketball) and me and my gal pals formed a doo wop group a few months ago. We were always best friends and we all sing real good so why not form a group? (I think I sound the best, but Cindy Lou always tries to hog the spotlight.)
My friend Opie (NOT my boyfriend . . . eew!) followed us around school last month and took some pictures of us with his Kodak Brownie camera. They came back last week and I put some of them in my memories album. He said I should share them with other people and here I am!
By the way, the Marvelous Wonderettes are performing on January 18, 19, 20, 25 and 26 at the local high school. I think we’re really, really, really good so you should come out and see us. Really! I think you can buy tickets now, but I’m not sure where you get them. Someone said at the Hard Road Theatre . . . wherever that is!
We are pleased to announce the cast of Hard Road’s next killer production, The Marvelous Wonderettes:
Breanna Noe – Cindy Lou
Bethany Rosenthal – Missy
Gentry Fifer – Betty Jean
Kenzie Holzinger – Suzy
Congratulations to our cast. As expected, selection was a difficult choice as all those auditioning were very talented. Thank you all.
We have not yet finalized our production team and will have openings in costuming, set construction, property management and stage management. If interested, please contact the director, Bill Sullivan.
Again, congratulations to our cast and thank you to all who participated.

Hard Road Theatre will be holding our annual trivia night on Saturday, March 10th at the John Wildi Masonic Temple located at 721 9th St., Highland, IL 62249. Doors open to the public at 6:30 p.m. and the event begins at 7:00 p.m. The cost is $100 per team with a maximum of 8 people on a team. There is a limit of 15 tables, so it is advised that you reserve a table ahead of time. Trivia questions are general knowledge questions. There is a table decorating contest with the theme of “Jolly Holiday” in honor of this summer’s production of Mary Poppins Jr. There will be free snacks, beverages will be available for purchase, and alcohol is permitted at the venue. In addition to the trivia contest, there will be a 50/50 drawing, a silent auction, and a table decorating contest. Items available for bid in the silent auction include celebrity autographs, St. Louis Cardinals tickets, theatre tickets, original Broadway memorabilia, gift baskets, and more. In total there are over 25 items to bid upon. All profits raised from this year’s trivia night will be used toward royalties for Hard Road’s 2018-19 season.
