March 28, 2023 2:56 am

The Little Lake Theatre Company held a press conference to announce its program for their 75th  anniversary year of performances. Artistic Director Patrick Cannon outlined the 10 shows that the troupe will perform. Cannon says that there will be fun for the whole family with musicals, hard hitting dramas, and performances that will entertain the youngest crowd. The year will be capped with a performance of White Christmas. During the press conference David Disney, and Sunny Disney Fitchett, children of the founding director Will Disney offered their memories of the earliest days of the theatre when they would perform as youngsters. Both recalled rather notable people that performed on the stage. Barbara Feldon, Charles Grodin and the person they say everyone knows…David Newell. Newell, of course is the actor known as Mr. McFeely from Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Managing Director Patricia Knapp hopes to make 2023 a year of growth and expansion of Little Lake Theatre’s audience. State Senator Camera Bartolotta attended to present the group with a Senate Certificate of Recognition. The season opens on April 6 with the comedy Popcorn Falls.
