Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate revue, abound in this fresh take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon, conceived by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie. Featuring songs from lesser-known works as Allegro, Me and Juliet, and Pipe Dream, to big hits like Oklahoma!, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music, this Tony-nominated musical revue showcases the work of Rodgers & Hammerstein with flair and distinction.

CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES Runs April 14-23

KRT_Church Basement LadiesCHURCH BASEMENT LADIES
Kincaid Regional Theatre
April 14-23
[Falmouth, Ky.]

Church Basement Ladies, a celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there, features four distinct characters and their relationships as they organize the food and the problems of a rural Minnesota church. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young bride-to-be learning the proper order of things, the book and music give us a touching, funny look at their lives as we see them handle a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter Fundraiser, and a teaming hot July wedding. They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the Pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other. Funny and down to earth, audiences will recognize these ladies as they begin to see the Church year unfold from below the House of God. This is most certainly true!

MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS Runs April 14-16

SSCC_Moonlight and MagnoliasMOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS
SSCC Theatre
April 14-16
Southern State Community College’s Central Campus [Hillsboro]

Directed by Rainee Angles

Cast: Jacob Bice as David O. Selznick, Camden Griffith as Ben Hecht, Shawn Thomsen as Victor Fleming & Chelsea Heifner as Miss Poppenghul

It’s 1939 and Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of 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 fueled by Miss Poppenghul, 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.
