PCP Website: What was your first show at PCP?
Lita Sandy: "Hello Dolly" at McAnally Center in 1971. [Lita played Ernestina Money. Her directors were Jeff Mont and Vickie Parker]
PCP Website: What is your favorite show you have seen at PCP?
Lita Sandy: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I had never seen Joseph and it was lots of fun to watch. Wish I had auditioned!
PCP Website: You direct, act, and choregraph - which do you like best?
Lita Sandy: Actually, I like all 3. I loved my part of "Maggie" in 42nd Street.
I really loved directing "Grease." I had a great cast. And, of course, I also love doing choreography. Piecing the numbers together and seeing the finished product...it's exciting!
PCP Website: What has changed most about PCP since you started?
Lita Sandy: Our facility! When March rolls around, I start getting "itchy." I can't wait!
PCP Website: What is your favorite show you have worked on?Lita Sandy: Grease - I love the show and the music! [Produced by PCP in 2000, 'Grease' played 9 sold out performances. Lita was its director & choreographer.]
PCP Website: What do you see for the future of PCP?
Lita Sandy: I would like to see more people audition. We have several families who audition and work on shows together. It's a great time for families to just be involved together.
Also, there are other shows that I feel should be considered, even though PCP is "Family." Shows like 'Gypsy' and 'Cats' can be done with taste. Putnam County has so much talent...let's use it!
I would like to see a children's show every season. The Workshop is not enough! Our children are our future at PCP...where else will they learn?
PCP Website: Any parting thoughts?
Lita Sandy: Once you set foot on or behind the stage, you are hooked. If you have auditioned and didn't get a part, please come audition again! We welcome new friends! [Auditions for 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' are June 24 and 25 and for 'The Odd Couple', July 1 and 2.
