Photo Flash: First Look at THE LOVE LIST At Flat Rock Playhouse

The Flat Rock Playhouse continues the 2018 Mainstage Series with the lighthearted and thought-provoking comedy, The Love List by Norm Foster. A master of weaving together comedic timing and witty remarks within a tender story of love and discovery, Norm Foster also wrote The Affections of May which appeared on the Flat Rock Playhouse stage in 2016. In The Love List, a side-splitting comedy, Leon and Bill concoct a list of attributes of the ideal woman - the top ten best qualities in a mate. The play quickly jumps from reality to fantasy when this allegedly "Ideal Woman" actually arrives on the scene, and the men learn that their list could use a few revisions. Be careful what you wish for - especially in choosing a mate. This adage leads to hilarious results in Foster's sparkling comic hit.

The Love List will feature three Flat Rock favorites: Ryah Nixon as Justine, Preston Dyar as Leon, and Scott Treadway as Bill. All three were most recently featured in Clue: The Musical as Miss Scarlet, Miss White, and Professor Plum respectively. Most recently, Ryah Nixon was previously seen at the Playhouse in Little Shop of Horrors, 9 to 5 and Million Dollar Quartet. Last year, Scott Treadway and Preston Dyar appeared as a dynamic duo in A Tuna Christmas. Scott Treadway and Preston Dyar also thrilled 2017 audiences with Treadway as Pharoah in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and with Dyar as Salieri in Amadeus.

The Love List will be directed by Lisa K. Bryant. Adam Goodrum will serve as Production Manager. Dennis Maulden, CJ Barnwell, Ashli Arnold Crump, Nick Myrvold will serve as Scenic, Lighting, Costume, and Sound Design respectively. Bill Muñoz serves as Stage Manager with Constantina Barile as Assistant Stage Manager. Cassidy Bowles will be designing the properties.

The Love List is presented by Opening Night Sponsor BMW of Asheville, Mainstage Series Sponsor Henderson County Tourism Development Authority, and Executive Producer DHG Wealth Advisors. Hunter Subaru is the official Transportation Sponsor of Flat Rock Playhouse.
