February 2010

It's a busy month at your community theatre!

THE WIZARD OF OZ, our 2010 opening musical, continues its run through early March. After a slow start to membership sales and tickets sales for WIZARD in January, things have picked up in February and we've even added some extra performances to the run. The cast has done a great job of producing a consistent show and we've had some outstanding crowds and great responses to the show. If you haven't seen it, we've tried to make it new and fresh - everything from pyrotechnics to projections and the song "The Jitterbug", which was cut from the original movie. If you haven't already gotten your 2010 membership or tickets to our musical, visit the website and join us at the theatre.

We recently cast our second production of the 2010 season - THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB. Director Jane Moore and her outstanding cast - Patrice Compton, Charlotte Dameron, Liz Koeninger, Gail Theobald and Jena Tumlin - are now in rehearsals for their March 12th opening. Box Office Manager Laura Abbott calls the show "Steel Magnolias" meets "Same Time, Next Year" and this new comedy is being produced by almost every theatre in the USA this year! Don't miss your chance to see this wonderful show and support our outstanding volunteers - watch for the Cue Card in your mailbox.

Finally, we have auditions coming up for THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK and THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. ANNE FRANK is being produced by the Pickwick Players, and will be presented in Davis Theatre One from April 9-17, 2010. THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is our spring 2010 Yucca musical, and will be presented at the Yucca from April 23-May 1, 2010. If you're interested in auditioning for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, join us at the Cole Theater on Sunday, February 28th or Monday, March 1st at 6:30 p.m. If you're familiar with the movie, the musical is the original version and much more in the mode of "Rock 'n Roll" music. Join the fun and audition!
