The opening night performance of "All
Shook Up" on Aug. 7 was amazing, superb, entertaining and flawless! In these
times of hardship for many, it brought smiles, laughter and joy too see the high
schoolers on stage and the audience having the time of their lives. The students
devote 20 hours a week for six weeks, rehearsing and forming endless friendships
with each other. As a board member and a parent of a student in the program for
the last three years, and personally being affected by the economy, I want to
thank Joe Egan and the whole Clarkstown Summer Theatre professional staff for
allowing me to laugh, cry and see the shining light in this world that we live
in as I watched one of the best and most enjoyable performances of a show well
done. Sharon Mellion
