Parade Players

"The spirit of a play is 'to play,' and since that's what First City Players does, we only thought it appropriate to modernize the selected photo by getting together and playing dress—up. Though some of us were reluctant at first, the experience of going through FCP's vast costume wardrobe and finding something to match the spirit and character of the child we were assigned to represent proved to be lots of fun and, at times, the source of many giggles! What fun to represent what we think those girls grew up to be!" — Elizabeth Nelson
