CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

Jerry Gorman is a regular guy from Passaic, New Jersey, who just got promoted to Snack Bar Manager at Wal-Mart. But what he really wants to do is fly. While the neighbors think he’s nuts, and his mother disapproves, his girlfriend Gracie believes in him and encourages him to follow his dream. Jerry soars to 16,000 feet with nothing but a lawnchair and 400 helium balloons. Loosely based on a true story, FLIGHT OF THE LAWNCHAIR MAN is a musical that inspires hope, and reminds us that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.

Directed by Kim Warrick
Music Direction by Sarah Lingg
Produced by Christina Tomazinis & Heather Atkinson

SSP_logoThe cast includes:

  • Marianne Adae as Harlene Frye
  • Brandon Woodward as Atticus “Attie” Van Leer
  • Becky Cole as Dorothy Frye
  • Madison Dilk as Sammy Jo Frye-LeFette

Harlene Frye is going to marry her childhood sweetheart this weekend . . . assuming the typical Frye family hijinks don’t derail the wedding! Harlene and Attie’s future together is threatened when the bride-to-be’s awful ex-flame shows up with information she doesn’t want her fiancé to find out. And Harlene’s not the only Frye keeping secrets: Sammy Jo refuses to tell her family she’s moving even though all her bags are already packed. As if that isn’t enough, Dewey can’t figure out why people keep asking him to give his sister away, and busybody Ozella Meeks has somehow ended up as the wedding coordinator. Will the Fryes be able to get Harlene down the aisle in one piece? A bighearted comedy about family—Southern-style.

Directed by Dan Hawkins, performances run May 10-18 at the Arts Center at Dunham.
