good work, guys!
Every theater needs a Bulletin Board to post good stuff about its programs and people. Gotta note the changes, who got a job, who's on stage, what's auditioning. We'll note this here, so if you have something to share, let us know! Just send a note, pic, or update to Mr. Liegel at wliegel@phil-mont.com. We'll take it from there!

Betsy Falk Visited our camp this past summer with some puppet friends! She now works for former T&K staffer Mike Latini at Monkeyboys Productions. They make props and puppets for TV shows, films, amusement parks, Broadway and so much more. Currently they make props for weekly SNL episodes, did work for two current Broadway musicals, and are one of the main suppliers of Little Shop of Horrors "Audrey Juniors" for theatres across the country. Oh, and Betsy's assistant...? the amazing Rosie Cocchiaro!
A decade or two ago, LIZ PRIESTLEY was the princess in our Aladdin Road show opposite Daniel Faga. While Dan was a fine leading man, recently Liz co-starred as the ex-wife of Edris Elba on the Netflix Concrete Cowboy feature film. You go, girl! The film riffs on the true story of a group of black urban cowboys who reach out to troubled Philly kids.
