Historian’s Corner
The 65th season closed out with the 1962 version of Cole Porter’s classic “Anything Goes.” It was the directorial debut of Bob Mangialardi. It was also the debut of newcomers Kerry Dixon, Elaine Hill, and David Flanders. This production was well-received with high praise for the acting and the music. The show turned a nice profit to end the season.
