A HOLIDAY MESSAGE FROM CHERYL LYNN

What a year 2009 was for me.  It was a year of  changes and happenings.  My husband Chris and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary.  We went to the Mount Airy Casino in July for a romantic getaway and on November 3rd (our anniversary), we ate at Emeril's in the Sands Casino.  It was my husband and my year of the casino.  We went to alot of them.  Unfortunately, we did not WIN at the casinos!  Oh well, at least we had fun.
2009 is also the year my son Mike gets married.  He will be tying the knot on Sunday, December 19th.  Mike also bought his first house in 2009 and moved out of mine.  Since Mike is  our only child, it has been a hard adjustment for me and his father to watch him "leave the nest".   We are proud of him.  Mike turned into a fine man.  We know he will be a good husband to his new wife, Sarah.
My basset hound Peaches turned 11 years old in 2009.  Her health took a "Senior Doggie" decline, unfortunately.  My husband and I cherish every day with her and the time that is left. 
And even though 2009 was a poor economy year for the most part, White Rose Productions continued to grow.  Yes, we did lose a few old time venues because of the poor economy.  But, we gained many more!  And, I recently re-signed an old venue to pick up the shows again in 2010. The audiences came, folks.  Despite the tough times, they came.  Despite the tough times, our venues booked shows and doubled their efforts. Despite the tough times, White Rose Productions  prospered. 
And I am still getting phone calls from places booking 2010 shows! 
In 2009, White Rose Productions started out the year with "AMERICAN IDOL: CLAY'S REVENGE".  It was a fun show to do.  One of the actors got arrested and missed a performance.  I was in a panic.  My good friend Sandy Reagan stepped up and played the role of Clay for that performance and did a great job!  Unfortunately, I had to fire the actor that got arrested.  Actor/Comic Matthew Folger, who was the Stage Manager, stepped into the role and finished the tour.  He did a wonderful job and did not miss a cue or line!  Thank you Matthew & Sandy for being there when needed. 
White Rose Productions Summer 2009 Tour Show was "LUCY & ETHEL'S OUTRAGEOUS ADVENTURE".  It was by far the most popular Summer Tour I have ever done!  The crowds loved it!  Actress Cheryl Moritz did a fantastic job as "Lucy", it was a pleasure working with her.  Also, the rest of the "Lucy" Cast as well.  We had a fun summer together touring all over the place. This was White Rose Productions second "Lucy" Show.  You can bet there will be a third!  The Cast will return in a future show...
Speaking of summer 2009, the White Rose Productions Company Picnic was a big success!  We had a "Fiesta Theme" this year.  We broke a pinyata and decorated in Fiesta colors.  Also, some old friends came to the picnic that I was very happy to re-connect with. 
White Rose Productions Winter 2009  Show is currently touring.  It is called "RACHEAL RAY'S FOOD NETWORK NIGHTMARE" and it is doing very well.  The Cast and I are having alot of fun working together.  The new actors in the group are very talented and dedicated.  The old actors are just as talented and professional.  And, ofcourse, there is me.  The biggest ham of all!  Some things do not change...LOL.
The tour will continue through April, 2010.  Bookings and info about the show are still coming in this close to the holidays, which is rare.  I want to give a big Thank You to Jennifer Lilly Gross and Erik Garces for coming through when called.  After auditions, I did not have a Stage Manager or an Actor to play the role of Chef Gordon Ramsay.  Jennifer and Erik came aboard and are just wonderful.  The show must go on, folks!
2009 was the year I connected again with The Ramada Inn.  And even though the economy prevented higher ticket sales, The Ramada Inn showed it's support to me and my shows.  I want to thank John, Dean, and the rest of the Ramada people.  I know when the economy is alot stronger, White Rose Productions will return to The Ramada in a big way!  Until then, I am very grateful to have connected with all of you again in 2009.
For me, 2009 was a year a new life path started to make itself known.  It is just the start of what will be a very wonderful thing for me in years to come. 
Some good friends moved away in 2009, but I made so many new friends.  I got to perform for hundreds of people throughout the year.  I got compliment after compliment from strangers telling me what a great time they had at the shows and that they look forward to 2010. 
Also, other White Rose Productions Shows were performed with other Theater companies.  One of the greatest thrills of my life was watching my script "JERRY SPRINGER: THE MUSICAL" come to life @ Insomniak Theater.  My good friend Sue Raesley did a fantastic job with it!  The cast was just great!  Very talented people!  The show is so good, that Sue and the "Springer" Cast will be performing it again at The Widow's Tavern in February, 2010...GET YOUR TICKETS FOR IT!  DON'T MISS IT!! 
"THE HONEYMOONERS MURDER MYSTERY" was a very successful past Summer Tour for White Rose Productions.  Lexington, KY based Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Company, Fantastical Theatricals,  is calling it "THE HONEYMURDERS" and they just love the show...So does the Kentucky audiences!  They will be touring "The Honeymurders" through March, 2010. 
White Rose Productions sister company, MO Productions produced "HILLBILLIES FROM HELL" in 2009.  Matthew Osmun is planning on producing "THE WIZARD OF OZZY" for 2010.
So, White Rose Productions has shows going in the East, MidWest, & Deep South...Can the West be far behind?  :)
White Rose Productions will be offering it's scripts for other companies in 2010.  I will be interested in seeing who will produce my scripts.
So, that's about it for 2009 for White Rose Productions and me.  All in all, an outstanding year. 
White Rose Productions continues on strong for 2010.  We have three outstanding shows to offer and dates are booking up fast!
"RACHEAL RAY'S FOOD NETWORK NIGHTMARE", "THE HILLBILLIES FROM HELL", & "ALL IN THE FAMILY: THE CASE OF THE MISSING MEATHEAD"...
See all of you in 2010!  AND LETS HOPE THE ECONOMY IS ALOT BETTER!!  It will be.  :)
Merry Christmas to all of you from my family to yours!  God Bless You.

For this show, we will be back in the ballroom.  Please call now and reserve your seat.  I know the economy is effecting all of us.  Everybody is tightening their belts and waiting for signs of better times.  Venues are booking my shows, they are just waiting a little longer then normal to do it.  Audiences are still attending my shows, their numbers are down a bit, ofcourse. 

White Rose Productions continues to provide the absolute BEST in Murder Mystery Dinner.  No matter what the state of the economy,  we continue to produce top of the line entertainment.  For the past 16 years, myself and my shows have been touring and performing to countless audiences.  So many places, folks, I just couldn't list them all. 

I do want to tell you Newsletter Peeps, that the Ramada Inn is trying very hard to bring Murder Mystery Dinner Theater back.  I have had my issues with The Ramada over the years.   However, I do want to let you know that the hotel has been completely renovated.  Completely.  It is absolutely beautiful.  And most importantly, they have extended their hand in a very positive way towards me and my shows.  I can tell you they are doing absolutely everything they can to try and advertise these shows.  Publicity is very expensive.  These newspaper and tv ads are expensive.  And despite a down economy, they are that committed to try and make a go of Murder Mystery Dinner Theater again.  The spirit on this is good, folks. 

I need your support on this.  I need you to get the word out and start coming back to the Ramada again.  I can guarantee the show "RACHEAL RAY'S FOOD NETWORK NIGHTMARE" is alot of fun and of the best quality and worth the ticket price. 

White Rose Productions has several Ramada Shows coming up in December, too.  Spread the word.

I am very thankful for all of you and your support of me and my shows.  I am very thankful to all the venues, charities, chambers of commerce, and private parties that book my shows.  Especially, I must thank the following for always booking a show, always coming thru.  Some of these people and places have been with me from the beginning and never waivered:

GREEN LANE FIRE CO.

LIMERICK GOLF CLUB

PALMERTON RELAY FOR LIFE

OUR TOWN FOUNDATION-HAMBURG

Amd a very special thank-you to Chuck and Jay...

COLONIAL HOUSE RESTAURANT

November 3 will be my 25th Wedding Anniversary.  My husband and I celebrated it this past July.  We took a long weekend at The Mt. Airy Casino and Resort.  My husband Chris got to race an actual NASCAR at the Pocono Raceway and did great!  We will be going to another casino on Nov. 3rd.  Yep, The Sands.  Not to gamble, but to dine at Emeril's Chop House.  I want to thank my husband Chris for his love, PAITENCE, and support of me these past 25 years.  It has not been easy at times.  I certainly have not been easy to live with at times.  Chris is a very hard worker.  He continues to work hard.  There is no better father or husband.  And I very thankful to have this "quiet, truck driving, normal" man in my life. 

Until next time,

Cheryl Lynn, Producer 8-}

New Show Finally Got "Legs"...

 Well, my new show is finally up and touring.  This one took a little bit longer to gel then some of the other ones I have done.  But, it is a great show and the tour should be fun.  I am exhausted.  I have one more week coming up with nonstop stuff to do...Contract Signing, "Racheal Ray" Show, Tarot Readings,  Psychic Radio Gig, etc.  and then it simmers down.  I still have obligations, ofcourse, but not at such a manic pace or so jammed packed.  My phone has been ringing lately with people and places asking for me to read Tarot for their Halloween Parties on Oct. 31st.  I would love to but I am booked booked booked just like every psychic for that day.  As of today (Oct. 10), I have had 4 offers for Oct. 31st.  Unfortunately, I am not available.  I am going to a haunted hotel party on that date.  BUT I AM AVAILABLE OCTOBER 30TH!!  Geesh, have the Halloween Party a day early and I can do it! 

Sooo, after this next very busy week, I plan on just veggie out for a few days.  Just relaxing and resting on the sofa.  Watching some old movies and spending time with my dog and husband.  After that, I am going to start reading my next script "The Hillbillies From Hell".  I need to edit it, copy it, and get it out to the other actor and stage manager.  I also must start learning my lines for that one because it is a HUGE role...The actual rehearsals for that start the end of Feb.  But, I want to learn those massive lines now and over the holidays.  Thank God I do not need to try and type out a script over Christmas Tree Light this year! 

I do plan on writing my "All In The Family: The Case Of The Missing Meathead" script starting next month.  If I can work this out correctly, I should be able to keep myself one script ahead of the game.  That is better for me because it is less stress. 

Oh, I am going through Peri-Menopause big time. folks!  Hot Flashes and the rest...I am coping the best I can.  I can't wait until  it all stops. 

I am organizing my big company christmas party stuff now, too.  Just in the planning stages now but I will tell you it is going to be a grand party and lots o' fun. 

Anyway, there so much more to report but it will have to wait until next time.  Hopefully, I will be able to blog more when my schedule eases up.

I'll try.
