This Friday, we open the second production in our 2009 membership season - Moonlight and Magnolias in Mabee Theatre II. When working on Play Selection for 2009, this comedy was brought to our attention and the committee fell in love with the script. Since then, we have discovered that many other community theatres across the USA are planning to produce this show. The story is about David O. Selznick, the Hollywood producer, who stopped production on Gone With the Wind and brought in a new writer and director to improve the screenplay and thus the movie. All of the action takes place in Selznick's office where writer Ben Hecht and director Victor Fleming are locked for five days with the producer in order to finish the revised screenplay. Eating only bananas and peanuts, the "creative process" is a source of great humor for the audience. Director Jane Moore and the cast - David Theobald, Michael Fields, James McNew, and Jennifer Oliver - are working hard to get ready for their opening night this weekend.
Moonlight and Magnolias runs March 13 - April 4 in Mabee Theatre II. Performances are every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. those four weekends - we also have a public Thursday performance (March 19th at 7:30 p.m.) and a ReachOut Sunday matinee (March 22nd at 2:00 p.m.). For tickets or more information, contact the Box Office at 570-4111 or get you tickets on our website.
