Free to be You and Me Today, Saturday, and Sunday in Cobleskill

COBLESKILL — Robert Duso got these photos of the Theater Project of Schoharie County's upcoming production of "Free to be You and Me.". The photos show a scene called "William Wants a Doll." Zack Smith is starring in his first Theater Project show as "William" and Abbie Gascho Landis plays his friend "Janice,” who doubles as "Grandma.”  

This is also Abbie's first show with Theater Project.  In the second picture on the far right is Amy Kennedy, playing "Richard".  Free to Be You and Me originated with a book in 1972 by Marlo Thomas (and friends!) about growing up.  

Directors Kate Elder and Libby Hammecker grew up listening to the record album based on the book, full of short stories and songs about following your own path, being yourself, and having confidence.  This show is sweet, funny, and empowering.

The play will be at the Cobleskill United Methodist Church at 109 Chapel Street today and tomorrow at 7pm and Sunday at 3pm. There is a suggested donation of $7 for students and seniors and $12 for adults.
