* THIS EVENT HAS EXPIRED *
The Bay St. Louis Little Theatre is grateful to the community for the
enormous support given to its comeback season after the pandemic forced a
stoppage of performances.
The Board of Directors has chosen the comeback season to be ‘A Season of Comedies.” To open the new season,
the comedy hit is the iconic “The Beverly Hillbillies.” The show is
scheduled to open on October 15, 2021. “This is the perfect comedy to bring
to our community after a season of pandemic scare and isolation. I found
myself laughing out loud while reading the first page of the script,” stated
Board member Clayton Pennylegion. Based on the rehearsals, laughter is
promised throughout the show.
The show originated from the TV series created by Paul Henning. The
playscript was adapted by David Rogers. The TV series was a top rated
show for its nine-year run on TV.
The show’s cast includes Lex Mauffray, Lana Price, Sydney Grove,
Michael Schultz, Clayton Pennylegion, Nancy Moynan, Genie Talbert, Terry
Cullen, Chris Cochran, Syvia Hanes, Kimberly Schmotzer, Jonah
Schmotzer, Irv Hansen, Jim Codling, Kellie Noel, Gail Trahan, and Karen
West. The show is produced and directed by Cheryl Grace. Paul Bernard is
the assistant director. Maggie Wooten is the stage manager. Assistant
stage managers are Barry Newman and Jeff Cabe. Assisting in props,
costumes, and show research are Paul Bernard and Gail Trahan. Dean
Noel is in charge of set design and construction. Phillip Dutton will manage
lights and sound. Clayton Pennylegion creates sound effects and cast
poster.
As was mentioned in the initial promotion of the show “This
promises to be a sell-out show!” and indeed it was. The show sold out its
first two weekends and has been held over for two additional weekends.
Additional shows were added to accommodate the overwhelming
reception of the community.
The show will continue for its fourth and final
weekend on Friday, November 5th at 8pm and Saturday, November 6th at
2pm. Doors open one hour before showtime. Seating starts 30 minutes
