5/22-6/1 - A Wrinkle in Time opens next weekend at Over the Ledge

5/18/2014

 
5/22-6/1 - A Wrinkle in Time opens next weekend at Over the Ledge in Fitzgerald Park, Grand Ledge
adapted from the book
written by Madeleine L'Engle
directed by Ann Carlson

May 22nd - June 1st, 2014

A Wrinkle in Time is the story of a sister and brother, Meg and Charles Wallace Murry, who rescue their father from captivity on the planet of Camazotz—and in the process save the universe from the clutches of an evil power called IT. They are aided in their struggles by Calvin O'Keefe, a friend who travels with them across the universe.

The novel introduces an entertaining cast of characters, many of whom exist only in the realm of the imagination.

Odd as some of these characters are— the three strange old ladies, Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which, who guide the children through the galaxies; the tentacled monster, Aunt Beast; and IT, a disembodied human brain—both the characters and the plot seem believable.

A Wrinkle in Time is much more than an intergalactic adventure story. L'Engle examines such issues as the nature of good and evil, the meaning of love, and the importance of self-sacrifice. She wishes to show readers what constitutes noble and admirable human behavior, yet her story is never a sermon. It is, instead, a chance for the reader to watch Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace face challenges, overcome them, and grow as a result of their tests.

5/17 - Over the Ledge Theatre Co. is entering season three!  

5/12/2014

 
Over this past "off season" a badly needed re-roofing of the Playhouse (inside Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge) was completed.  While this is a fabulous improvement, the mess that was left behind is not! 

This is where you come in.  We are having a clean the theater day, this coming Saturday, May 17, 9am-3pm? to clean up the mess left behind by the installation of the new roof.  We will have cleaning supplies available for you to jump in and help make the theatre spic and span.  If you have a shop-vac that you can bring that would be great.  Come spend what time you can spare, we appreciate it. 

For more info or directions, questions, contact LeAnn Dethlefsen at 803-9785 or better yet, leanndethlefsen@aol.com.  Thanks again, see you there.

8/1-11 - Duck Hunter Shoots Angel at OTL

7/25/2013

 
8/1-11 - Duck Hunter Shoots Angel, an uproarious and surprisingly poignant story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel, comes to the Over The Ledge Theatre Company in Grand Ledge, August 1-11. 
This quirky comedy, written by Detroit Free Press columnist Mitch Albom of Tuesdays with Morrie fame (the bestselling memoir of all time), Duck Hunter Shoot Angel centers on two good ‘ol’ boys, Duane (Michael Hays) and Duwell (Bruce Bennett), who believe they have shot a celestial being while duck hunting.  Word of their fantastic story reaches the editor (Martin Underhill) of the Weekly World and Globe in New York City and he quickly dispatches one of his reporters, Sandy (Mark Boyd), a cynical and self-professed writer of "crap" with his less than eager photographer (Sidney Sauseda II) to go down South and get the scoop.  The themes of redemption, race, media and north vs. south are all explored in hilarious fashion, and the show features a surprise ending that few theatergoers see coming. 
Directed by the award winning Rick Dethlefsen, this production also features Kellie Stonebrook, Rachelle Garyett, Breckan Erdman and Gary Mitchell as ‘the voice’. 
Shows are scheduled on Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at the Ledges Playhouse in Fitzgerald Park, Grand Ledge.For ticket information, call 318-0579 or visit the website www.overtheledge.org
