Monday, November 20, 2017 – Elder Allen DeWitt

This evening Sis. Johnson and I attended the musical play, “Meet Me In St. Louis” at the Hale Centre theatre in Gilbert Arizona. We were excited to go because our old friend Elder Allen DeWitt was one of the lead characters in the play.  Bro. DeWitt was a “Nauvoo Performing Missionary” both summers while Sis. Johnson and I served in the Nauvoo Mission. I’ve never seen anyone act, sing and dance with more enthusiasm.

Tonight’s play was very good and we enjoyed it a lot. Bro. Allen Dewitt did a superb job and we got to talk to him after the show. He’s been very busy since he returned from his mission last August. He has performed in “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” “Kiss and Tell” and he was one of the brothers in “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” For the past month he has been performing in “Meet Me in St. Louis” nightly and next week he will be performing in the Hale Centre Theatre’s holiday run of “Scrooge.” Wow, Bro. DeWitt has been busy! We are so glad we got to see him tonight.
