Of Special Note...
Dessert Theatre
is a premier
Summer 2011 was a
season of hits!
But now Harlan has become a Stoic who
has adopted a strict unemotional regimen
in preparation for the afterlife, while
Victor has turned into a wild hedonist
Page 2 BACKSTAGE
who believes that “when you‟re dead,
you‟re dead” and intends
to squeeze every drop of
pleasure from each
fleeting moment.
W h i l e t h e y a r e
vacationing with their
long-suffering wives at a
remote cottage on the
c o a s t o f B r i t i s h
Columbia, Victor sets up
a trick to prove to Harlan
the falseness of his
philosophy, but the trick
The 2011 July Show, “Arsenic and Old
Lace” proved to be as popular as ever.
Crowds laughed at the antics of the „old
ladies‟ and their varied guests.

The August Show, “Kitchen
Witches was a hit with theatre goers.
The always confrontational and
never boring relationship between
the two leads were solid and strong.
Even in the case of „injury a la
Isobel‟; the show went on. Certainly gives new and literal meaning to
break a leg.
Kitchen Witches brews comedy
Anyone
wanting to be
a part of
Hawkeye
Community Theatre now
has a new
tool in
getting in the
loop for all
events
involving the
theatre.
Notices placed in media outlets are only
effective if people see those outlets, or
hear about them from friends. While we will still use our wonderful local media
outlets for getting information out to the
general public, HCT is now embarking
on an all out drive to generate an
electronic method of distributing the
news surrounding HCT.
Whether it is show times, special events,
command performances, auditions, work
days, meetings, fun-filled vacations,
impending meteor strikes, etc., you now have the opportunity to be right in the
know as soon as it breaks.
All you need to is send an e-mail to
info@hawkeyetheatre.com and say
SIGN ME UP in the subject line. Please
include your name, address and phone as
well.
Hawkeye Community Theatre will
NEVER share your information or
address with anyone for any reason. The only thing we will use this for is to let
YOU know what is going on, when it
happens. Period. It does not mean you
are volunteering for anything.
The theatre is not run by martians. We
are not paid. We are not they. We are
you - your community. Simply a few
ever changing volunteers willing to work
to keep theatre alive in Fort Dodge. We
hear many complaints, but not so many offers to help.
Change that; be a part!
