PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
GOOD EVENING & WELCOME!
Is anyone besides me ready to break away, escape
for a few hours, and enjoy some good-hearted,
wholesome fun? While it seemed like a long, cold
and isolating winter, we are finally into spring! And
with spring comes longer days, fresh air, warmth,
relaxed COVID-19 restrictions, and the hope that
things will be better ‘Tomorrow’!
Annie has been a popular Broadway show since the late 70’s and was made
into a movie in the 80’s. It is a timeless story of innocence, hope, and
determination, as well as a search for truth, relationships, and trust. Annie
reminds me of the power of holding onto hope for my wishes and dreams, and
overcoming the roadblocks, the adversity, and the unscrupulous until I
reach them.
The message I hear as we cheer for Annie is “never give up on your dreams,
because there are better days to come, Tomorrow!”
I hope you will enjoy today’s performance and appreciate the work
and commitment that the cast and crew have given to bring us today’s
performance. Their talents and dedication are sincerely valued
and appreciated!
If you have not already heard, we have just announced our 33rd season’s
Main Stage productions. I am very excited for the line-up! In addition, we
will be announcing the productions for our BMO Theatre stage in the very
near future. Truly a diverse and exceptional line-up of shows put on by
imaginative, talented and passionate theatre makers. The smaller theatre
venue offers the audience an intimate and unique theatre experience.
Please sit back and enjoy today’s performance.
- George Daniel, SJTC Board President

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
SCOTT THOMAS
(DIRECTOR) Scott works at UNBSJ where
he dreams of golf or biking. Recent creative
efforts include Fundy Fringe shows Approaching
Magnificent and Mashup, The Musical. Recent
directorial efforts include Circle Mirror
Transformation and Dead Man’s Cell Phone
(Theatre 6 Presents) and It’s A Wonderful Life
(SJTC). Recent acting roles SJTC’s The Crucible
(John Proctor) and Little Shop of Horrors (The
Dentist). Scott hosts the Empty Stocking Fund and the long-running
RogersTV program Cheese, Monkey, Box, Pirate.
WE ALL HAVE TO GROW UP. Whether or not we are
“children at heart”, eventually the boundless optimism of youth gives way to
the frustrations and cynicism of adulthood. And if that truth is not enough,
our current period of history seems determined to remind us that carefree
existences can drastically be altered by disruptive pandemics, divisive
politics, and soul-crushing global conflicts. The concept of a “sunny tomorrow”
can seem very unlikely.
Annie transports us to one of the history’s greatest disasters – the Great
Depression. This time of great social upheaval included the loss of family,
loss of resources, and the loss of community. It was a calamity which cast a
shadow over the entirety of society – from billionaires to orphans, from public
servants to private secretaries, from the lowliest orphan to the President of
the United States. For this very reason, it is important that we look beyond
the simple charms and cotton candy sensibilities of a show like Annie to
remember the crucial importance of the core message. At times of great social
and personal turmoil, humans still have the power to dream and together
create a brighter tomorrow.
Finding our way out of the gloomy present can seem impossible but there
are simple things we can do that send positive ripples in all directions. Treat
others as we would like to be treated, share kindness with one another
especially when it is difficult, and remember that there is more in this world
that unites us than divides us. We would do well to take Annie’s advice. To
stick out our collective chin and grin and make tomorrow sunnier than today.
It’s only a day away.
