A Big Week on Stage

   So, it's a great week for community theatre, with two terrific shows in Huntington:

   The delightful and funny Seussical on Thursday and Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 2pm at the Keith Albee Theatre. The cast is loaded with amazing talent - they create a wonderful, colorful spectacle, loaded with funny, terrific characters - it really is a show for all ages! Kids will love it and parents will appreciate the genius of Dr. Seuss!

   Also running this weekend is 1776, which features an all-star cast of men, two incredibly talented and beautiful women, and (in a mercifully small role) me. Yep, for only the third time in living memory, your pal Chuck is taking the stage! It's a terrific show, with great songs, a moving story and lots of surprises! The show runs two weekends, starting this Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2:30pm.

   All performances take place at the Renaissance Art Center, 900 8th St., Huntington. Show only tickets are $15 and dinner and a show tickets are $30. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. (Fridays and Saturdays only). Seating is limited. For reservation and more information call 304-733-ARTS

   The musical follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they attempt to convince the members of the second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence.

   For more information contact Bil Neal - Director 304-544-3926 or Jeanette Bills - Producer 304-634-6401.
   These are two of my all-time favorite shows - check 'em out and you'll understand why!
