Shows On Stage in May

As we approach the end of Spring, the community theatre shows become fewer and further between.

For May, one show is taking up the slack by covering three weekends! There are four different shows on stage this month, and three are in Charleston (not that there's anything wrong with that). The other is in Portsmouth. Here's the list:

- South Pacific will be presented by the Charleston Light Opera Guild May 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m., and May 10 at 3 p.m. at the Civic Center Little Theater. Tickets are $20.

- 42nd Street will be presented by West Portsmouth High School Drama and Music Dept. this weekend at Shawnee State University. Shows are Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon (May 1, 2 and 3). Tickets are available at Ticketmaster and at the box office.

- The Rat Pack is Back in a special show celebrating that group's amazing music. The show runs May 5 at the Clay Center, and tickets are $50 and $32.

- WV: Words and Music will take the stage at the Clay Center May 21 - 23 and 28 - 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 and $15.

So get out there and support your local theatre!

Shirlee, you're welcome! And thanks for the info about "Law and Order SVU" - I've never watched the show, but I'll set the ol' DVR to catch it tonight. Between Macy on "SVU" and Michael Cerveris on "Fringe," local theatre veterans are taking over!
