Summary

The September through December 2013 Beaver Beacon issues document the Beaver Island Community Players’ fall production from auditions through its early-November presentation. The production was Just a Little Crazy, written by Renee C. Rebman and directed by John Fiegen and Jacque LaFreniere; the December review says audiences responded warmly.

Evidence limits

The December review confirms the reported performance and reception, but does not provide attendance figures or a complete box-office result.

  1. A twentieth-anniversary photo-collage appeal lists the Players' 1994–1998 productions: Terror in the Suburbs and The Tinker; Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar and Grill; Cinderella, Cinderella and Too Soon for Daisies; Our Town; and Death and Taxes and Once Upon a Wolf. The retrospective list is useful for continuity but is not a substitute for programs or reviews.

  11. The directors announced the script, library availability, September 11 auditions, and November 9 production date, then posted a reminder. This adds contemporaneous recruitment details; the later newspaper review remains stronger for the completed production and reception.

  12. The directors used a twentieth-anniversary trivia thread to promote Just a Little Crazy; the final reminder reported that riser seats had sold and only front-row seats remained. This is contemporaneous organizer evidence of strong ticket demand, not a complete attendance or box-office count.

  13. The Community Center thanked the directors and cast after the November 9 performance and identified the production as part of the Players' twentieth year. This is a first-party/community acknowledgment of the completed performance; the Beaver Beacon review remains stronger for the broader reception account.
