To the Management of the Shanachie Theater,

In the past, the Shanachie's management, acting and ballet troupes have generously given their time to be a part of Rhydin's Children's Day celebration. I am hoping that tradition can continue, now and in the future. I would like permission to record the final performance of Matilda. Several of the city's hospitals, including Riverview and Dockside Medical Center, have a broadcast feed. I thought it would be fun to share this show with the kids that are confined and will not be able to attend any of the live performances. Since the show ends before Children's Day, recording it seems to be the best option.

Sincerely,

Mairead E. Harker

Ms. Mataya,

Thank you very much! At last night's wrap party, I made my way around with a camera to get some candid shots and comments from the cast and others in attendance. I'm sure the kids will love it! 

I've been wearing that red ribbon from wardrobe between shows. It's brought me a bit of luck!

Your friend,

Maggie
