Two Shows This Summer at Greenbo Lake

Here's the story from today's Herald-Dispatch about two shows hitting the stage this summer:

Greenbo Lake State Resort Park will present two classics - a comedy and a musical - at its amphitheater in June.

Both productions will be produced by the Red Lion Theatre Company, a community theater group.

The Odd Couple will be presented June 4-7. The show will begin at 8:30 p.m. each evening.

The play that spawned two successful movies and an ever-popular television comedy begins with a group of guys assembled for cards in the apartment of divorced, Oscar Madison. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been separated from his wife. Felix seems a bit unstable, Oscar decides to be generous and as the action unfolds, the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results.

Bring your lawn chairs and blankets. General admission is $10, senior citizens/students $8, lodge guests/campers $7.50.

The musical The Wiz will be presented June 25-28. The show will also begin at 8:30 p.m. each evening.

The Wiz is a boisterous, exuberant musical, re-imagining of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Dorothy's adventures in the Land of Oz are set to a dazzling, lively mixture of rock, gospel and soul music that is a feast for the eyes, ears, and heart.

General admission is $12, senior citizens/students $10, lodge guests/campers $9.

Greenbo Lake State Resort Park is on KY 1, 18 miles north of I-64 from Grayson exit or 8 miles south of U.S. 23.
