Ardmore Little Theatre will present its second show of the season, “Daddy’s Dyin’, Who’s Got the Will?” on Thursday night at the Charles B. Goddard Center at 401 1st St. S.W, in Ardmore.
Tickets are on sale now and can be reserved by calling the ALT box office at (580) 223-6387. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students.
Written by Del Shores, the show is being directed by ALT veteran Joh Mann.
The premise of the show is that quarreling siblings are reunited at their father’s deathbed eager to find out what he’s left to them.
But slightly senile Daddy’s lost his will. Family tensions arise anew despite the fact that they have been apart for years, as all the while they desperately search the house for the missing will.
The show stars Chelsae Simmons, Brian Anderson, Gina Quary, Lisa Cowan, Carmel Jones, Taloa Anderson, John Pryor and Randy Simmons.
“I have truly enjoyed working with these actors,” Mann said of her mostly veteran cast. “They have worked hard to produce a fun and poignant portrayal of this highly dysfunctional family in south Texas.
“This show is an interesting perspective of the not-so-unusual-American family. I hope the audience enjoys this evening and our portrayal of the ups and downs of the Turnover family,” she said.
Mann has been active in ALT for more than 25 years. She has acted, directed, served as tech and stage hand and has also written and produced 10 murder mysteries for the Oklahoma State Tourism Authority.
Performances of “Daddy’s Dyin’” will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday.
This show is not suitable for young children, contains mild language and mature content.
