CTE Staffer Makes the Big Time!
Natalie Backman, former CTE
Choreographer and Dance Director,
flew out last May
to audition for the
National Broadway Tour of the 30th
Anniversary Production of Annie!
She is
in the ensemble and is one of the
Boylan Sisters. She is also
covering the Star-to-Be and Grace,
so she'll have her hands full!
She will be in NYC
the entire month of December performing at Madison Square Garden, and
then on to Portland and Spokane as well as several other cities around
the country.
Another
exciting tid-bit is that the tour is supposed to wrap with a stint on
Broadway to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the show! That's pretty
great. She says it’s a dream come true!

culminated in the production of a musical comedy ”42nd
Street!"
Set in 1933, it high-lighted all the fun of 'putting-on-a-show' on
Broadway with one great Warren-Dubin number after another, making it a
feast of titanium-plated hits. Written by Rian James and James Seymour.
Arts
Festival
culminated in an original production, titled:
“We’re
Puttin' on a Show!”
Written
by our own CTE Interns - skits about producing a show. The work shop
also offered other fun courses, including mime, music makers
(instrumentation), rhythmic movement, world dance, beginning
characterization, and more.
Intensive
culminated in the Tony-award winning musical "Pippin".
Set in the 9th Century Holy Roman Emperor, follows the life of Pippin,
son of Charlemagne, who wonders how to find real meaning in his life,
dabbling in war, sex, and politics before finally finding love. Written
by Roger O. Hirson and Stephen Schwartz.
CTE Mystery Night a Big
Success!
"A Wedding to Die For" was the wedding of the
year! Written by Eileen Moushey and directed by Kathy Dorgan, this
was an audience participation murder mystery. Wedding guests
enjoyed great desserts and delicious sparkling cider, while solving an
abundance of clues. The energy was high and there was great
camaraderie as each table worked together to be the first to solve the
who dun'it. Click on
wedding pictures to see the
fun. This event was sponsored by Batdorf & Bronson, San
