Bonners Ferry Summer Youth Theatre to perform at
Boundary County Fair
August 17, 2015
by McKenzie MacDonald

Since early July, a small group of young performers has been working very hard to get ready to perform for the community. In past years, Summer Theatre’s productions have been on the stage at the Becker Auditorium, but this year that will not be the case. This year, the group will be performing for County Fair-goers at the Fairgrounds’ gazebo. “It has been difficult to adjust,” said Annie co-director and performer McKaela Spradlin, “we are having to use grass, and a different structure and set.” Despite this non-traditional stage, however, the actors are excited to share all of their hard work with an audience.

Due to a smaller cast and the rehearsal schedule, the group will not be performing an entire show, but will instead be performing selections from the famous Broadway musical Annie. These selections, to name a few, will include classic favorites like “Hard-Knock Life,” “Never Fully Dressed without a Smile,” and “Tomorrow.” “We tried to focus the selections on the group,” said McKaela, “we wanted to keep everyone on stage as much as possible.”

These selections from Annie will be performed twice on August 20, 2015 – once at 5:30 p.m. and again at 6:00 p.m. “We are excited for everyone to see it,” said McKaela.
