PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES Opens Tonight at Georgia Ensemble Theatre

Georgia Ensemble Theatre (GET), North Fulton's only professional theatre company, will kick off its 2014-2015 season with the toe-tapping roadside party Pump Boys and Dinettes by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel, and Jim Wann. Directed by GET Artistic Director Robert J. Farley, this foot-stomping musical runs tonight, September 11-28, 2014, at the Theatre's home, the Roswell Cultural Arts Center, 950 Forrest Street, Roswell, GA. The music director is Dolph Amick. This production is generously sponsored by the The Mimms Company.

Welcome to the Double Cupp Diner on Highway 57, somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, North Carolina. It's a great place to rest a spell, and enjoy a slice of pie and a piping hot cuppa joe or a bottle of beer. The fellas from the gas station next door will be stoppin' in for a visit with the lovely Cupp sisters, to play their high energy blend of country-western, bluegrass, and rock & roll packed with entertaining toe-tappers about life, love, and good times along the American roadside.

Says director Farley about the show, "I truly love this music, its blend and its high octane energy, all navigated by outstanding Atlanta professional artists who take the stage for this production. It's the perfect follow up to last season's smash hit Almost Heaven, John Denver's America."

The Cast: Pump Boys and Dinettes features the first-rate ensemble of Dolph Amick (Almost Heaven: John Denver's America, The Buddy Holly Story at GET) as Eddie, Christopher Damiano (Almost Heaven: John Denver's America at GET) as Jackson, Molly Coyne (making her GET debut) as Prudie, Lyndsay Ricketson (Camelot, Beauty & the Beast at GET), Mark Schroeder (Ring of Fire at GET) as LM, and Jeremy Wood (Almost Heaven: John Denver's America, Camelot at GET) as Jim.
