Cafe Broadway a hit!

Thanks to the Diva Duo (mother Ulrike Shapiro and music teacher Nicole Paulino), along with with a great team of parents, teachers, and STUDENTS, this year's theatrical production, "Cafe Broadway" was a great success. Spinning together great songs from Broadway and beyond, a great collection of Henry's brightest stars sang, danced, and drummed to the delight of a packed auditorium.

Students, parents, teachers and staff, and friends of the community painted scenery, brought in professional sound equipment, baked goodies for sale at the concession stand (OK, I cheated & bought my contribution at the co-op), secured raffle prizes, coalesced a live band to back up the singing students, assisted with rehearsals and backstage during the 2 nights of performances, and produced the program book.

Sponsors/contributors to the program book, which supported the costs of the production, include:

• Susan DeJarnatt, Peter Schneider, Max Goodman & Rafi Schneider,
• Ms. Shapiro & Ms. Paulino
• Ranieri & Company Financial Services
• Dad, Mom, Tim & Lindsay
• Greg Moore, Margaret Funderberg, and Phoebe Funderberg-Moore
• 8J
• Woodmere Art Museum
• C.W. Henry Teachers, Staff & Principal
• Weavers Way Co-op
• Nancy, Kevin & Ben Peter, and Marian Darmstadter

Thanks to the venerable Doc Gibbs for working and appearing with our student drummers for a knock-out number that included dancers.
