“Dreamgirls” meets the “Dixie Chicks”…

“The Honky Tonk Angels”
September 3 – 12
Starring Angie Freeman, Kim Cooper and Jenny Carroll

Macon Little Theatre presents “The Honky Tonk Angels” a musical comedy by Ted Swindley, the author of the hit “Always Patsy Cline”. Join us on a hilarious, rollicking and touching journey that celebrates the voices of women in country music. Experience Stand by Your Man, Coal Miner’s Daughter, Delta Dawn, 9 to 5, Harper Valley PTA, I Will Always Love You and many other great songs through the voices of the three country gals who meet on a bus on their way to Nashville to follow the “music city dream” of becoming a star. Romance, husband problems, independence and a little gospel thrown in for good measure result in a thrilling theatrical mixture of laughter, friendship and maybe a tear or two.

Box Office opens to the public on August 30. Don’t wait too late to make your reservations. This one could be a sell out.

Announcing MLT’s Summer Musical:
Swing!
July 9 – 18

SWING! is a celebration of the music and dance phenomenon that swept the nation in the ‘30s and ‘40s and has returned to become one of today’s fastest growing trends. More than a dance revue, SWING! crosses ethnic and cultural barriers, hi-lighting an eclectic mix of Jive, Latin Swing, West Coast Swing and Hip-Hop Swing.

“Two thirds rhythm and one third soul.” That’s how Fats Waller defined the uniquely American form of popular music and dance known as “swing.” SWING! celebrates this remarkable diversity to the beat of the most exhilarating songs of the period. But as this enthralling song-and-dance show makes abundantly clear, swing was never a time or place — it has always been a state of mind! To borrow the title’s punctuation mark: It’s not art! It’s not cerebral! What it has to offer is a good time for the whole family. In short, it’s a show perfectly timed for the good time season.

Featuring such hits as:

“It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)”, “Jersey Bounce”, “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”, “I’ll Be Seeing You”, “In the Mood”, “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree”, “Cry Me a River”, “Blues in the Night”, “All of Me”, “Stompin’ at the Savoy” and “Woodchopper’s Ball”.

Registration for the Macon Little Kid’s Theatre Camp is drawing to a close.

Rehearsals have been underway for “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” for several weeks as the cast learns lines, blocking and songs for this unique musical mystery. The cast has to learn eight different solutions to the crime as each night the audience chooses the murderer by vote. This interaction between audience and actors creates a unique relationship and energy that stretches the limits of live theatre. Make your plans to see this music hall mystery. Let the cast of the “Music Hall Royale” mystify, delight and engage you in this energetic whodunnit. Performance dates are May 14 – 23 and reservations can be made starting May 10 between 1 – 6 PM.

Inspired by Charles Dickens’ incomplete novel, Rupert Holmes’ spirited musical extravaganza stops the action midway through Act II (where Dickens had died) to invite the audience to vote on the outcome. Who DID kill Edwin Drood? We are proud to present this hilarious, chaotic entertainment, filled with melodrama, high spirits and rousing music hall melodies.

“Rupert Holmes’ achievement in his musical adaptation of Dickens’ ‘The Mystery of Edwin Drood’ is a little short of astonishing …”
