A cast of nine vocalist and five musicians performed over thirty of Rodgers and Hammerstein's favorites and less-known gems. From the more well known shows such as "Oklahoma", "South Pacific", and "The King and I" to less known shows like "Me and Juliet" and "Pipe Dreams" the show entertained all that attended.
Cast members included Molly Abel, Penny Kinsman, Sam Heimstreet, Cathy Daly, Anne Grover, Benjamin Whitcomb, Laura Wydeven, Karen Wydeven, and Paul Wydeven.
Ever Green:
Coming Together to Care for Nature at Fort Atkinson's Historic Evergreen Cemetery
In July 2023, nearly 70 trees in Fort Atkinson's Evergreen Cemetery were damaged due to strong straight-line winds. While much progress has been made, cemetery staff are still in need of further assistance to help restore this beautiful local landmark.
On June 22, FACT teamed up with the Fort Atkinson Club to create the benefit event Ever Green: Coming together to care for nature at Fort Atkinson’s historic Evergreen Cemetery. The event helped to raise awareness and approximately $3,500 was donated to support tree stewardship at the cemetery.
Performances included a revival of the Readers' Theater radio show production of "You Can't Take It With You" and the FACT Summer Singers' Rodgers and Hammerstein preview of the summer musical.
THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated, purchased plants and trees, and made this a successful benefit!
