Okay, kiddies, we're off again on another adventure. This time the play is Ghost of a Chance by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus. It's the story of a young widow who's come to sell the hunting lodge of her very late husband along with her fiancee and mother-in-law-to-be. Things are rocky to start with but become downright crazy-making when her late husband shows up... still dead, but back all the same in a somewhat more non-corporeal way. And the laughter ensues, which is why in this play, timing is soooo important. We have a good cast to whom I will introduce you in the coming weeks.
The play is directed by Jim Vincill with music by nobody. (It ain't a musical folks.) And that little fact makes this somewhat unusual. Most years, the Dogwood Trails show is a large-scale musical- generally a familiar face in the entertainment crowd. Last year we departed from that model with a brand new musical- Ghosts. This year we stray even further, but with a hauntingly familiar plot device...a ghost. No spoilers...I mean...it's in the title.
More on Sunday as I begin introducing you to the cast along with a "how things are going" insider's view of the production.
And don't forget:::
Coming Summer of 2014
Auditions in May TBA
