WOW! Thanks for the pic and the other pic you posted in another post (and also the price code!!! - it will really help this girl out a bit!) I hope I get a chance to come down to Philly via the dragon bus to see it! BTW, have you seen the show yet?

Very Nice! Thanks for posting this. Just to add Jennie Eisenhower, yes Dwight's, grandaughter, is one great young lady onstage. She won a very deserving Barrymore last year for The Wild Part, Media Theater, Media PA. And just as polite and nice as she looks.
