Monticello Rotary Club members joined with members of the Monticello Kiwanis Club in our "Night Out" series on July 17, 2018 for the opening night of "Annie" at the Forestburgh Playhouse.  All we can say is, "WOW!"  The performances of the Pre-show Cabaret and the Main Stage shows were simply AMAZING!  We had a terrific night of fellowship and fun!  The cast, crew and staff were absolutely top notch!  Thank you to our host, Franklin Trapp for a great evening of entertainment, food and friendship!  We enjoy our "Night Out" with you each year and this year was no exception!
 
A fabulous Cabaret Dinner/Pre-show by this year's Resident Company filled with memorable tunes of the '70's and spectacular talent!  We were all humming along but most of all Doug Muller!  He knew every song and remembered all the lyrics! 
 
 Getting ready for show time!  
 
Excited to see the show!
 
Franklin's Famous Curtain Speech!  Wish we could have gotten a better picture but this was the best we had and wanted to make sure to include our fellow Rotarian in the photos!
