Though Towne Centre Theatre has two performances plus two more shows to go before concluding its third season, BrentWord has the scoop on what's ahead in 2010.
Our very own community theater will open its fourth season with Moon Over Buffalo, followed by I Remember Mama, Gypsy, Once Upon a Mattress, Exit the Body and A Christmas Story.
But until Feb. 5, when the curtain rises on playwright Ken Ludwig's comedy that earned Carol Burnett a Tony Award nomination, local theatergoers have lots of other opportunities to enjoy the restored Frierson Street theater.
Into the Woods, the musical which offers alternative endings to familiar fairy tales, ends its run this weekend, with final performances tonight, Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for seniors (60+); and $16 for students with ID. You can reserve tickets by calling 221-1174.
After talking with Julie Murphy, the theater's office manager (and frequent TCT cast member!) on Wednesday, I can't wait for the next show, Dearly Beloved, which sounds like Steel Magnolias on steroids. It opens Sept. 25 for a three-week run, but Julie shared that a really fun fundraiser is being planned on Sept. 24 that will not only include the play but a Texas-sized wedding reception as well. Stay tuned for details.
The 2009 season winds down with the Rogers and Hammerstein family classic, The King and I.
Its run is Nov. 20-Dec. 12 and lots of children and youth will be needed for the cast so keep an eye out for audition notices later this fall.
Hmmm, maybe I could be one of the kings many wives?
I'll share 2010 season ticket info as soon as it's all squared away. I know I'll be getting one. This sounds like the best season yet.
