For the most part, there are two kinds of community theatre seasons: the ones that run in the fall and spring (mirroring the school year), and the ones that run in the summer.
With the end of school, there are just a couple of shows left before it all gets turned over to the summer season.
In Charleston, South Pacific wraps up its three-week run Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Civic Center Little Theater.
The last of the spring shows (that I'm aware of) is WV: Words and Music, which takes the stage at the Clay Center May 21 - 23 and 28 - 30 at 8 p.m.
Then we depend on the summer theatre groups for our entertainment. Most are outdoor theatre groups, although Charleston theatre groups will stage indoor productions of Rent and High School Musical 2 - and possibly others.
Here's the summer list I have so far:
- Huntington Outdoor Theatre will present The Wedding Singer in July.
- Theatre West Virginia will present Honey in the Rock, Seussical, High School Musical and Hatfield and McCoys starting in June.
- Chief Logan State Park will host Willy Wonka and The Aracoma Story starting in June.
- Jenny Wiley will present Smoke on the Mountain, All Shook Up and The Legend of Jenny Wiley starting in June.
- Red Lion Theatre Company will present The Wiz and The Odd Couple at Greenbo State Park starting in June. (Thanks to my pal Levi for the info!)
That's the great thing about community theatre - there's always something cooking!
