Summer Retreat coming to Over the Ledge

7/27/2019

0 Comments

 
Summer Retreat by Annie Martin coming to Over the Ledge Theatre 

Three women, friends from their college days brought together by the death of the fourth, gather at the cottage where they spent their summers. But, instead of a sweet reunion, this gathering descends into chaos and comedy when it is discovered that one of them has a plan to truly honor the dead woman. What happens when the bonds of friendship run as deep as family, but it’s a family you would like to strangle? How far are you willing to go for old friends? 


"a truly funny play " ... "A wonderful journey of friendship, loss, betrayal." ... " Martin constantly entertains with witty dialog that never holds back.” 


This show features an all-star cast of Emily Clark, LeAnn Dethlefsen, Gay Oliver, Erin Hoffman and Rick Dethlefsen. Directed by Mary Job.
    8/8-18 - 8pm; 2pm Sundays at The Ledges Playhouse in beautiful Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge


Tickets at the website or at the door (Only $10/$8 — $6 for students)

Chad Patterson Library shows continue

7/15/2019

Still more Lansing-area chances to see Chad Patterson’s imaginative library tour show SPACE FOR RENT! (See you at Foster on Thursday?) These are fun, original scripts by Chad — and his son is performing with him!

Major Tom "Buzz" Aldrin had to give up a career in the Air Force because he found out that he was, of all things, afraid of heights. As a boy he had once dreamed of flying not just in an airplane but maybe even one day in a spacecraft to explore the final frontier. Now he settles for a career in real estate. (When you are afraid of heights, you stay on land.) He hasn't done very well with this either, now he is desperate to at least rent a space in town. Somewhere that with a little imagination could be a great business or even a living area. He has not had any takers however except one... a young boy named Neil, who has been kicked out of his house for the day because Mom is having book club. Neil's Mom tells him to get his head out of his phone and "those games" that there is a universe of stories out there. He looks and looks and finds Major Tom and his space for rent. This excites Neil, he loves space, science fiction and everything that has to do with worlds outside of our own. He rents the space for one day and tells Major Tom that he should spend the day with him and explore "space" with him. Where Major Tom only sees a vacant storefront, Neil recreates scenes from Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy and he even revisits the first moon landing and moonwalk. Both Tom and Neil learn a lot about saying yes to your imagination. Tom learns that he can still reach great heights with his mind and Neil learns that occasionally it's nice to put the technology down and create your own story mode.
