School is almost

over and when the final bell rings a rising chorus of "I'm bored"

will be heard nearly everywhere. Newnan Community Theatre Company's production

of "Really Rosie" deals with what several neighborhood friends

do on a day when they are all extremely bored.

Rosie is the

self-proclaimed leader of a group of friends. She claims that she will

be filming the story for her life and her friends are welcome to be in

it, but they must audition first. Her friends, Kathy, Alligator, Chicken

Soup, Johnny and Pierre audition for the show and hope that they will

be chosen by the Producer and taken far away from where they are so bored.

"Really

Rosie" was written by Maurice Sendak, who wrote the classic children's

book "Where the Wild Things Are," and the music was written

All Around," "One Was Johnny," "Ballad of Chicken

Soup" and of course, "Really Rosie."

The show is

directed by Jennifer Dorrell and Kelly Whisenhunt and stars Kate Lemere

as Rosie, Chastity Garrison as Kathy, Scears Lee as Pierre, Ellen Dorrell

as Chicken Soup, Reid Clark as Johnny and Elizabeth Dorrell as Alligator.

Others in the cast are Katie Webb, Aubrey Clark, Hope Gillespie, Lauren

Dennis, Chelsea Gannage, Hart Gillespie, Harrison McCain Ford, Markus

Gleaton and Lauren Watring.

Rosie" will be performed May 10-12 and May 17-19 at Newnan Community
