CHAPPAQUA, NY (Nov. 27, 2012)—Sandy seems to be the storm that keeps on giving – in all the wrong ways. The after effects of the late October hurricane
are still being felt in ways both large and small. Just ask Carol Mamara and Zina Michelle. Thanks to Sandy, just a month before they were to present their annual holiday production in Chappaqua they found themselves without a venue for the show.

1996 Greeley graduates Anna (nee Rotante, a granddaughter of Woody Guthrie) and Scott Canoni met as kids on the bus to Bell school.  When Anna realized that a big family musical event was taking place around the time their daughters’ preschool wanted to hold a fund raiser, they did some figuring. “It was my grandfather’s centennial and my kids go to this amazing place—Mt. Kisco Child Care Center—and the school had been looking for fundraising opportunities.”

Every spring, the Greeley stage bustles with the sights and sounds of new, sometimes raw, talent. For three evenings, student playwrights, like great puppet masters, get their fellow students to strut their stuff and bring their visions alive before the masses. The week is always filled with laughter (a LOT of laughter), some intrigue, romance (but of course: This IS high school), tragedy and despair (but of course: This is HIGH SCHOOL!), a few missed lines, Some Serious Subjects and absurdity.

In 1938, when the rumblings of war rapidly expanding in Europe were only the loudest in the barrage of negative news heard daily by Americans, Thornton Wilder pleaded with his countrymen, through his three-act play “Our Town,” to appreciate every moment of every day. Life is fleeting, he cautioned in his Pulitzer Prize winning drama, rejoice in the ordinary while all around you is changing.

Might as well say it straight:  Mark Twain was a contentious ol’ coot.  He lured people in with his book about the charming rascal, Tom Sawyer, and then delivered a below-the-belt hit with his follow-up about the kinder, but abused, Huck Finn.
