True to that statement, 3B Productions has won many awards at Regional and State OCTA Theatre

Hey 3B Family!! Hoping everyone had a restful/peaceful holiday season and surviving this bitter cold weather.

This is a bit of a plug for Waterville Playshop as I am directing a play for them this winter. The show is called:

Love, Loss and What I Wore....it's a series of monologues and short scenes where five women (Leah Creek, Cindy Kriner Eberhardt, Kris Frederickson, Emma Glover and Emily Harel) who explore the clothes that they have worn or remember and the memories that those clothes/clothing items bring forth. Some are funny, some are poignant, some may bring a tear to your eye...but they will all make you FEEL something.

These ladies have been amazing to direct, and they are so excited to bring this rarely done work to NWO/SE Mich audiences!!

All shows have tickets available:
Friday at 730PM
Saturday at 730PM
Sunday at 2PM

www.watervilleplayshop.org or available at the door.

I hope to see you at the show!!
