Second Show of Season changed to
The Ghost of Rhodes Manor
By Deb Finley
Rhodes Manor
Due to casting issues, FFP is unable to produce
A Streetcar Named Desire as originally scheduled. However, director Jim Toth
and committee have chosen a perfectly timed family-friendly show for the
Halloween season. The Ghost of Rhodes Manor, by Jean Lee Latham takes
place at Rhodes Manor, a strange old house which is rumored to be haunted.
Mrs. Rhodes (Alicia Creger), the owner, has long been absent, and a forbidding
housekeeper, Deborah Cass (Linda England), is the sole tenant. A letter from "an
unknown friend" brings Helen Underwood (Samantha Henry), a mystery writer, to
the manor in search of first-hand material.
Helen rents the house for the weekend and brings Mary Fitzgerald (Aeryn
Williams), her efficient secretary (who publicly pretends to be Helen Underwood to
spare the timid Helen from publicity), and Glory (Lori Foster), her maid. But two
others have preceded them, Marcia Stone (Laurie Dye) and Alda Iverson (Vickie
Lopez), a professional hypnotist. These two are prepared to take a hand in
whatever happens in the eerie old house. Diana Shrewsbury (Sandra Krueger),
a woman who wants to be a detective, also arrives at the manor, and Buddy
Haggerty (James Faust), a vigorous sheriff, come having been summoned by the
housekeeper.

Auditions Announced
for FFP Christmas Production
Auditions will be held for the Fort Findlay Playhouse
production of the Nunsense Christmas musical, Nuncrackers
(book, music & lyrics by Dan Goggin), on Sunday, October
14, and Monday, October 15, at 7:30 p.m. each evening.
Director Jim Toth is looking to cast five women, one man, three boys (10-15) and
three girls (10-15). Please come with a prepared song and be ready to learn some
choreography and do some reading from the script.
The Little Sisters of Hoboken, with the help of Father Virgil Manly Trott and some
of Mount Saint Helen’s most talented students are set to present their first TV
special, to be taped in the Cable Access Studio in the convent basement.
Featuring all new songs including Twelve Days Prior to Christmas, Santa Ain't
Comin' to Our House, We Three Kings of Orient Are Us and It's Better to Give
than to Receive, this show is filled with typical Nunsense humor, some of your
favorite carols, and an uproarious take on Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet.
Directed by Jim Toth and produced by Deb Finley, Nuncrackers will run
November 29 - December 2, December 6-9 and 13-16.
OCTA Website: www.ohiocommunitytheatre.org
Nuncrackers is produced in association with Tams-Whitmark.

(Continued from page 1)
Mrs. Rhodes also turns up, in reply to a letter from Deborah,
which the housekeeper, strangely, insists she did not write.
Nor did she rent the house to Helen. As the fast-moving story
unfolds, it becomes evident a sinister force is bent on putting
Helen Underwood out of the way; but since Mary pretends to
be Helen, peculiar things happen.
Directed by Jim Toth, produced by Deb Finley with Barb Pace
as the rehearsal assistant and stage manager, The Ghost of
Rhodes Manor will appear on the FFP stage October 4-7 and
11-13. Tickets will go on sale to Benefactors on September
17, to Angels on September 18, to Patrons and Single
Patrons on September 19. Tickets for the general public are
$12 and will go on sale September 24. Tickets may be
purchased by calling the Arts Partnership box office Monday
through Friday (8 a.m.–5 p.m.) at 419-422-4624 or going
directly to the Arts Partnership at 618 South Main Street.
Make plans now to visit Rhodes Manor and see if you can
solve the mystery. The Ghost of Rhodes Manor promises to
be a delightful Halloween treat with fun for the entire family.

FFP Says Goodbye to Steve Froelich
Fort Findlay Playhouse lost a friend on August 24 when Steve Froelich passed away of complications
from liver failure.
After graduating from Ohio University, Steve taught English and journalism at Findlay High School,
along with advising the yearbook and newspaper staffs, serving as drama coach for the fall and spring
plays, narrating the symphony concerts, and annually writing and directing the year-end comedy
shows for the FHS faculty. His favorite author
Two by Two (1997) with Bonnie
was Shakespeare, and one of the yearly
highlights for his classes was his dramatic
readings of the plays. Steve was active at the
Fort Findlay Playhouse, Black Swamp Players,
and Pemberville Opera House, who
commissioned him to write a play for the Ohio Bicentennial. He wrote two:
Momma's Boys about the eight Ohio presidents and Ladies First about their
wives.
Steve appeared on stage for 21 shows at FFP. His first was in 1997 in Two
By Two, and his most recent was in the 2010 production of The Sunshine
Boys. In between he
OCTA Conference 2010
was seen in The Good
Doctor (1997), Into the
Woods (1998), The Sisters Rosensweig (1998), Rumors (1998), Harvey
(1999), Arsenic and Old Lace (2000), 1776 (2001), 12 Angry Men (2001),
Dancing at Lughnasa (2002), The Man Who Came to Dinner (2002), One

Season (2007), Death and the Maiden (2008), The Best Man (2008) and An
Evening of Old Time
Radio (2008). Steve
was the director for
the FFP productions
of You Can’t take it
With You (2001), Five
Tellers Dancing
(2003), Boy Meets
Girl (2004), Wally’s
Café (2006), A Night
of Old Time Radio (2007) and An Evening of Old Time Radio (2008).
Steve also did programs, stage management, publicity, props, light
operator, house, set design and voice-overs for many other
productions and served as a board member for two seasons.
Steve and Bonnie
directed and
produced a very
special production
of their own on
September 20,
1997. This was the
day they were
joined in marriage
by Mayor John
Stozich in a garden
setting at their
home in Jenera.
Our condolences
go out to Bonnie,
as well as, Steve’s
family and friends.

2012 OCTA Conference
OCTA Boulevard
By Jim Toth, OCTA Delegate
Ohio Community Theatre Association
annual theatre conference: the one big
event that I look forward to every year,
and this year was certainly no
exception. Coming off the fun experience of acting in a really
fun show at the theatre (The Silver Whistle), I was more than
ready to head south for another exciting long weekend of
theatre, friendship and maybe an occasional liquid libation.
My wife, Linda, and I discovered almost immediately that it
was going to prove an interesting weekend. After typing the
hotel address in my faithful GPS, we left for beautiful
downtown Worthington, Ohio. It was upon arrival at the
destination that we both realized there may be a problem.
Instead of a fancy high-rise Hilton hotel, we found ourselves
in the middle of a rather seedy, rundown trailer park,
complete with the requisite old gentleman clutching a bottle
secretly wrapped in a brown paper bag. It was soon
discovered that I should have typed in ‘Columbus’ and not
‘Worthington’. So making a rather hasty illegal U-turn and a
little wave to the wino, we headed back to the highway and
were greeted with bumper-to-bumper rush-hour traffic. While
the GPS blinked incessantly that we only have 4.2 miles to
the Hilton, it took me 55 minutes to travel that little stretch of
4.2 miles. After exhausting every expletive known to man and
a few I made up on the spot, we did finally arrive at the
Doubletree Hilton in Columbus.
Checking in proved to be an extension of the trip as I was
met at the front desk, not by one of several attractive young
ladies working there, but instead, I was the recipient of the
wrath of a nearly belligerent man who was rather upset that
all these theatre people were checking in at the same time.
And when he learned that I was going to pay my hotel bill in
cash and not use a credit card, he nearly went into cardiac
arrest. "You want to pay cash?" he literally yelled. This
apparent phenomenon caused me to be delayed at the front
desk for nearly 30 minutes because he was totally confused
by the entire concept of such a thing as currency changing

hands. How dare I "not" use my Visa.
So we were finally checked in and belligerently given our
complimentary chocolate chip cookie (this cookie actually
turned out to be the culinary highlight of the weekend) and we
headed to our room. The room was clean but small. In fact, it
was so small that when room service delivered food that
evening, one of us had to leave the room so he had space to
roll in his cart. I was also saddened that there was no fridge
or microwave in the room (so much for my Redenbacher
popcorn).
Friday evening was highlighted by two wonderful OCTA Jr.
excerpts, Willy Wonka JR (Licking County Players) and
Ragtime (3B Productions). Both were exceptional and the
kids displayed talents well beyond their years. Late night
activities for Linda and I was going to include the viewing of
this year’s Academy Award winning movie The Artist but no
one could figure out how to operate the projection device so
we just went to the room and I watched TV.
Saturday began with the first of 15
amazing excerpts from theatres
from all over Ohio. There really
wasn't a bad excerpt in the bunch
and some were so totally
exceptional that words cannot
describe how professional
community theatre in this state has
become. Our region, the Northwest
was well represented by Fort
Defiance Players, who presented
Souvenirs, Tiffin Ritz with their
production of Doubt, a Parable and
3-B Productions with a cutting from
the musical Rent.
FFP members
attending this year’s
OCTA Conference
were: Katie
Blocksidge, Laurie
Dye, John Garner,
Sam Gupta, Samantha
Henry, Bob & Wendy
Henry, Julie Lane,
Vickie Lopez, Jim &
Linda Toth, Aeryn
Williams and Marty &
Cathy Williams.
Late night activities were limited for us this year as Linda had
sprained her ankle and was grounded most of the late night.
We did play a spirited role in the scavenger hunt which has
sort of become our little niche at the yearly conference. I was
sort of sad that I was not on an OCTA Feud team this year.
You would think someone would want the experience of a
three times past state feud champion. Maybe it’s because I'm
getting old and can't remember @#X#$ anymore.
Despite the rather rocky beginning, we did have a thoroughly
wonderful time...as always. This was my 30th or 31st OCTA
Conference (not quite sure) and I don't see any let up in the
future. Meeting old friends, comradery, good theatre and
great conversations are what I like best and there is no better
place for those things than OCTA. My philosophy for
community theatre has been for years: “To do the best
theatre possible but more importantly, have fun doing it.”
Well, one thing about OCTA Conference is a given. You
always have fun. Thanks OCTA....See ya next year.

FFP Says Goodbye to Patrick “Butch”
Patino - “The Phantom”
By Andrea Adams-Miller
A year ago, a close friend of the playhouse became
paralyzed after a short unexplained illness. After struggling to
breathe on his own without help for a year, he finally decided
he had enough and gave up trying to regain his
independence.
“The Phantom”, as his close friends jokingly called him,
known to others as Frank “Butch” Patino, never sought
Attention, preferring to keep on the sidelines. We teased he
was “The Phantom” as he would suddenly appear in the
building or in the room, and just as quick as he appeared, he
would be gone, sometimes while you were midsentence!
Butch had a great talent for painting, and he painted some
of the most beautiful sets or projects on the Fort Findlay
Playhouse stage. Butch loved the playhouse and could be found there late into the night painting, making props, or taking
pictures of the orbs he often saw floating around the stage!
Personally, I knew Butch since I was nine years old as he was one of my softball coaches, so he has been part of my life a long
time! Knowing Butch all my teen years and then becoming reacquainted with him in my adult life, I was especially fond of him. I
considered Butch my family. It is so funny, just like he would appear and disappear at the playhouse, he came and went at both
my house and our other close friend Lori Foster’s house. So, when we learned of his passing, we were not surprised because
Butch loved his independence.
He loved to ride his bicycle all over town, hang out and play guitar at Coffee Amici, and dreamed of restoring an old motorcycle
to ride free again while he could come and go as he pleased. Being paralyzed took away his freedom, so I personally am
comforted to know that in death he can ride with the wind, play guitar, and literally come and go as he pleases. You may not
believe in ghosts, but I am sure that on the nights someone is there to build or paint late at night, Butch might just drop by to visit.
So, say hi to our friend Butch, and know the phantom that lurks only wants to be a part of something he loved so much.
FFP Receives Awards at State Conference
By Marty Williams
A great weekend was had at The Ohio Community Theater Association's annual conference over

Durain for Titanic. Marty Williams & Julie Lane received a Tech Award for Excellence in Lighting

Costume Coordination for her for her work on Titanic.
Those who care for our administrative support did well too! Shirley Nebergall was given several newsletter awards for her work

Congratulations
to the new Mr. &
Mrs. Opperman
By Andrea Adams-Miller
On September 8th, two
playhouse members, Patrick
Davis & I, Andrea AdamsMiller, had the privilege of
co-officiating the wedding of
two other playhouse
members, Elizabeth Orley to
Jeff Opperman.
Four years ago, I met
Elizabeth after tryouts for a
summer's end show. Within
20 minutes, I knew that she would someday be the wife of
Jeff Opperman, who had become a close friend of mine after
hanging out at the playhouse. After I convinced Elizabeth to
try out for the winter musical the following January, I quickly
called Jeff to tell him to clear his life as his wife was coming
into his future!
He laughed at my grandiose ideas, but come January, when
she walked into the playhouse, he literally did a triple take at
her stunning beauty. After two weeks of acting together as
the leads of Urinetown, the Musical, Jeff and Elizabeth were
inseparable. Now, three and a half years after they met, they
were married. I was honored to be their officiant as I was the
one who introduced
them, and Patrick was
honored to do a
ceremonial ribbon tying
for them. This was
special for Patrick and
Elizabeth as she played
his daughter in
Urinetown, The
Musical, and Patrick
does not have children
of his own.
Never would I have believed in fairy
tale weddings until I observed their
wedding day! The night before,
storms shook all throughout
Columbus, drenching the
Worthington Country Club, where
the wedding was to take place the
next afternoon -- OUTSIDE! At 9:30
a.m., the bride happily decorated
the arbor in a rain poncho, while
the groom insisted the weather
map showed bright sun and blue
skies by 4 p.m. Well, no less than a
miracle, by 2 p.m. the standing
water was gone, the grass and dirt
below dry and study enough to hold
high heels and outdoor chairs!
Everything went without a problem -- a beautiful bride, a
handsome groom, and a love that seemed like it could only
be real on stage happening in real life!
After a perfect ceremony, the masquerade dinner and dance
ball commenced and we danced the night away! Lori Foster
and I joked that fairy tales really do come true!
