NOTE: YOURS TRULY was the assistant director and stage manager of The Dating Game. Chrys Yvette, who wrote the play about couples seeking help with their relationships with an off-centered life coach, hired me to assist her with the play after the cast was set in September and rehearsals began in October at the South County Library. Our monthly to weekly  rehearsals also had taken place at Thrive (on Lindell) and the roomy basement of Yvette's home.


There were two shows last Saturday and Sunday with all sold out and according to the playwright her phone has been ringing off the hook for an encore performance!


Shout outs to the cast and crew for a job well done. We utilized our talents, time and tenacity to make The Dating Game a winning success!
