Proceeds are being donated to Do It For Daron (DIFD), a charity for mental health of children at the Royal Ottawa Hospital. Director Barb Lacelle started KYMTC 13 years ago and continues to

impress audiences in this small community with the performances of young and now not so young amateurs. Producer Marilyn Conroy keeps everything organized and ticking along like a welloiled locomotive. The sets are attractive and cleverly designed, well-lit by the lighting and sound crew and the scene changes are smooth. Phillip Konopka performs like a professional in the role of Curly, a cowboy stuck on Laurie. You have probably not heard a better male singing voice in the

Municipal Centre. Phillip is well known in North Grenville for his many musical and vocal exploits. Phillip is also the Music Director of Oklahoma! Kathleen Konopka has the leading female role of Laurie. Kathleen’s voice has matured beautifully from the already impressive soprano voice she displayed as a teenager. Her acting and singing are both awesome and she also choreographed the Dream Ballet. Zach van Noppen is masterful in expressing both

musically and dramatically the troubled nature of the hired hand, Jud Fry, who feels spurned in his love for Laurie. Zach’s voice and acting have breadth, depth and power. Joseph Lacelle plays Will, the cowboy who “went to Kansas City on a Friday, by Saturday he’d learned a thing or two.” Joe embodies the role of Will Parker to a “T” and has fun pursuing the apple of his eye, Ado Annie.
