Hamilton, Ohio – Make sure you have your seat when the curtain goes up! The Mad Anthony Theatre Company will be presenting MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS by Ron Hutchinson at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts on April 30 – May 2 at 8 p.m. and May 3, 2015 at 2 p.m.
1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production on his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel. The screenplay just doesn’t work. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists, and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.
The Mad Anthony Theatre Company features our resident drama group, which includes a team of semi-professional directors, designers and actors. Each season they delight audiences with a selection of three productions ranging from dramas to comedies and musicals. The director for these performances of Moonlight and Magnolias is Patricia A. Ganz.
