The cast of the Depot Theatre’s Million Dollar Quartet had the honor of opening the 176th Essex County Fair with the National Anthem at 5 pm Wednesday August 13th.
A torrential summer storm framed the moment, rain pouring down as the cast performed the anthem to open the Fair.
Cast members from left to right: Jane Boxall (Fluke), Brian Sanford (Johnny Cash), Addison Schuh (Dyanne), Jonathan Acorn (Jerry Lee Lewis), and Jonathan Hadley (Sam Phillips).
