Didn't I just announce the 2008 season?!? And now people are asking me the same question, all over again...What is your season for 2009?

It can't be true! Only one more show this year and then...WHAT!?!

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Jaime Castaneda is back from his stint in NY, working on Speed the Plow at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway. (Can you say, "I'm impressed!") He is directing Circle's non-traditional entry into the holiday market, A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant, November 20 - December 20.

As we say in our disclaimer, "This production is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by The Church of Scientology." But with a unique title like this show carries, we are not surprised at certain misconceptions. There have been questions about whether we are recruiting new members for Scientology (the answer is no). A few days ago, we received a call in the box office inquiring as to what sort of pageant goes on for five weeks?!? We finally understood that the caller had no idea that this show is a theatre production and not a beauty or talent pageant!

We would like to thank Debra Jung and Kate Lovelady at Kids Who Care for their willingness to share their young talent pool with us at audition time. We have been fortunate in finding a talented cast of 8 young actors, aged 9-14, who will sing and act their way into your head and heart. When you leave A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant, you may be humming one of the show's rock songs and or have discovered something about this new age religion you may not have known before!

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this enthusiastic twist on a typical holiday pageant.
