The Early Years: Children’s Theater 1946
The second season for the Children’s Theater program, organized by the City of San Diego Recreation Department.
Just as in the previous year, the Children’s Theater program was again directed by Lois De Lannoy and Beth Masterson, with assistance from members of the Footlights Theater group. De Lannoy and Masterson taught the drama classes, with Frank Benham teaching dance. John Ward was musical director and Ralph McKay was business manager. Ward wrote the original score and McKay the book for the season’s Sleeping Beauty.
