The waiter and the porter are played by Owen and Mike Davis; Pownee Bill, a rival showman, by Dennis Twitchell; and the messenger by Brandon Sukeforth.

Dual roles of Sylvia Potter-Porter and the queen of England are played by Kristen Searles, while Jen St. Pierre plays dual roles of Mrs. Adams and the Tsarina of Russia. Jane Fahey plays the queen of Italy.

The story’s love-conquers-all and rags-to-riches themes are accompanied by such musical numbers as “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “You Can’t Get a Man With a Gun,” “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better),” and “I Got the Sun in the Morning.”

Choreographer is Debi Irons, technical director is Norm Hutchins, and set designers are Nancy Marcotte and Claire Sessions. Kathy Millett, Shirley Parsons and Diane Maddix are the costumers.

The School-Community Broadway Show is done every other year, and there is still a need for volunteers to help as stitchers, painters, carpenters and other workers. Participating in the show is a great way to meet new people, said Music Director Cynthia Wescott.
