PICKETWIRE’S 58th SEASON


Come From Away

Directed by: Cameron Salzbrenner

Audition Dates: March 2 & 4

Production Dates: May 14, 15, 16, & 17

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture lashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the standard travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.


Footloose

Directed by: Tracey Salzbrenner

Audition Dates: May 19 & 21

Production Dates: July 9, 10, 11, & 12

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local rules, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.


Fahrenheit 451

Directed by: Ashley Kelly

Audition Dates: July 20 – 24

Production Dates: September 10, 11, 12, & 13

Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites. This powerful adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s novel is about the inner struggle of Guy Montag, a fireman. Montag has worked as a civil servant for ten years burning books, but lately he has become increasingly unsure about what he is doing and about his vegetable-like existence. It is not until he meets 16-year-old Clarisse, who is filled with strange ideas, that he is led into a dangerous and highly combustible situation. Now he must choose between continuing his nonexistent existence and risking everything for the right to think.


Lost in the Bermuda Triangle

Directed by: Natalie Summers

Audition Dates: September 21 & 23

Production Dates: November 12, 13, 14, & 15

Welcome aboard the “Oh, Suzanna” and set sail to beautiful Antigua…. if you dare! Join Captain Krunch and his lovely daughter Leisel in this wacky sea adventure where you, the audience, are also the passengers. Problems start when the “Oh, Suzanna” gets trapped in the Bermuda Triangle and attacked by a crew of lost seventeenth-century pirates. Lockjaw Lenny and his motley crew of buccaneers plan to take over Captain Krunch’s vessel, but things begin to go awry when Leisel and Lockjaw fall in love, their furtive meetings not unnoticed by Lockjaw’s buccaneers. Deceit and backbiting are standard fare until Captain Krunch is found murdered, poisoned by someone aboard. Watch for clues and red herrings and then cast your vote before the final act.
