What I've read here are definitely steps in the right direction for us fortunates living here in the St. George area. Your focus to the future is correct and on course. The new theatre at 1000 East is going to do very well with all the added space and other amenities. The house will be filled, rest assured.

And let's not overlook all of the support that the Farnsworthy's have given to show business in this state and county.

We have been supporting show business in St.George for at least 10 years now, and nationwide for nearly 50 years. It's a part of our life and it always continue to be.

Give some thought into bringing back 2 of the greatest theatre and film presentations to ever hit Broadway and Hollywood, with both being presentations by Rodgers and Hammerstein.......know to us all as "OKLAHOMA" AND "CARROUSEL".......
Gordon MacRae was a family member of ours for nearly 3 decades and obviously we never missed a performance of his, whether it be in N.Y, Ca. or Vegas, up until his death in January of 1986.

It's been some time since we've seen either of these 2 musicals staged here in St.George. These 2 will always be classics and crowd pleasers for years to come. Gordon also did another Broadway classic...."I Do, I Do"....but as you know, that performance was limited to just a cast of two but never the less kept the house filled for months on end on Broadway back in those days.

Keep up the good work, and rumor has it that Vegas is getting concerned, and we want to keep it that way, right?....Even Robert R is getting a little nervous also! He's had a great life at Sundance but would have a ball doing it up down here......!

Sorry, I stand corrected on the name Farnsworthy.
We have friends of that name and typed it in out of habit.....Of course I should have said Kenworthy.
