THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR
Presented by Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Feb. 14-17
Hamilton

Directed by Rhonda Lucas
​Produced by Brett Sandlin

Cast: Petty Cash as Cee Cee Windham, Julie Joyce Smith as Gaynelle Verdeen, Lynn Minges as Lamerle Minshew, Dick Gentry as Aubrey Verdeen, Maggie Macgregor as Jimmie Wyvette Verdeen, Beth McClain as Peaches Verdeen Belrose, Megan Demoret as Bitsy Hargis , Sharon Einhorn as Elsa Dowdall, Linda Hurley as Mama Doll Hargis, Joey Schnell as Newt Blaylock, Justyn Rampa as Sheriff Grover Lout & Adam Blount as Purvis Verdeen

In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins—Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette—could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. As a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gather on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season, things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor’s pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced romp barrels toward its uproarious climax, you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
Presented by Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Oct. 11-14
Hamilton

Directed by Patricia Ganz
​Produced by Dick Gentry and Joe Nagle

Cast: Bob McClain as Mr. Frank, Carrie Vennefron as Miep, Charlie Mangess as Mr. Van Daan, Michelle Lewis as Mrs. Van Daan, Meg Haven as Mrs. Frank, Maggie Miller as Margo, Kaleigh Howland as Anne Frank, Nicholas Inglin as Peter, Dick Bell as Mr. Kraler & Don Campbell as Mr. Dussel

The story concerns the lives of real people who lived at a time of unspeakable horror for the Jewish population in many European countries. The Diary of Anne Frank is based on a true account of the lives of a Jewish family hiding from the German occupying forces in war-torn Amsterdam. To escape the horrors of Nazi persecution, Otto Frank hides with his wife and two daughters in attic rooms above an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. Also hiding with the Franks are four other people – the Van Daans, their son Peter, and a dentist, Mr Dussel. In her diary Anne recorded an account of the trials and tribulations of the people around her, all trying to live a normal life in cramped attic accommodation, whilst under the constant threat of discovery by the Gestapo.
