Emmetsburg Main Street Community Theater celebrated the completion of its 31st year with the annual Board of Directors meeting on Nov. 14, at Dublin’s Food & Spirits in Emmetsburg. Highlights of the previous theater season were reviewed, and awards were presented.

Director Jackie VanOosbree noted that the drama “Of Mice and Men,” which played in March and April, “was a great show” and that it featured a “wonderful set.”

“We had an outstanding reception for ‘Of Mice and Men’,” said VanOosbree. “It was the first drama that we’ve done in a long time.”

Co-directors for “101 Dalmatians Kids,” which appeared in May and June, were Marcia Beatty, Peggy Stolley, and Jackie VanOosbree.

“We had 52 kids participate in ‘101’,” VanOosbree said. “We made a considerable amount of money on this production. It was very charming, and I’m very pleased. I really enjoy working with the kids.
