2008 – A GREAT YEAR FOR “BTAP”
Dearest BTAP, family, friends and fans,
Reflecting on 2008, I would like to acknowledge what a fabulous year we had! We were blessed by so many people in so very many ways! I am grateful!
In February we performed the great American classic, "Our Town" by Thorton Wilder at Valley College in the Horseshoe Theatre. It was amazing, thrilling and wonderful!!!
In September 2008 we performed a musical show, "BTAP, Back on Broadway" at Father Nicolas's beautiful Russian Orthodox Church, as the T.A. Dept at Valley is under construction. We had a very successful run!!! It was our first Cabaret style show, and I hope it won't be our last!
We also performed at the "Buddy Walk" at Santa Anita Racetrack, and did a great job!
We have some new, generous, multi talented assistants who have joined us this year! Also new, talented, adorable BTAP members! We're better than ever!!!
Thank you for supporting, loving, and believing in the "Born to Act Players"!
May God Bless You All! Much Love,
Mary Rings
Director/Founder BTAP

“BTAP” 2007 – A YEAR IN REVIEW
On St. Patrick’s Day at Lull, Special Education Center, the BTAP performed their “Born to Be an Idol” show to standing ovations and sold out houses.
We also took our “Born to be an Idol” show on the road to Leichman High School where it was very enthusiastically received!
BTAP performed an acting workshop for a camp hosted by Jacques Hay at the Jewish Community Center in Woodland Hills. Jacques presented each BTAP with an engraved trophy with their name.
For the 3rd year, the BTAP put on a very successful acting workshop at the DSALA Buddy Walk at the Santa Anita Racetrack. In late July, back at Valley College the BTAP took the stage with “In the Moment,” a fantastic improve show. The beautiful, talented and always gracious Lee Merriweather came again to our show and was part of a group improve. Thanks Lee!
One of the amazing highlights of 2007 came late in December. Carla and Paola Menacho invited the BTAP to appear on stage in 2 performances of “High school Musical” at the Kodak Theateras as the “Wildcat Pep Squad.”. It was a great experience.
