By: BWW News Desk Apr. 22, 2012
The Des Moines Community Playhouse presents the music of Johnny Cash in "Ring of Fire," Mar. 30 through tonight, Apr. 22, 2012. Tickets may be purchased online at dmplayhouse.com, by phone at 515-277-6261, and at The Playhouse ticket office, 831 42nd St. "Ring of Fire" is sponsored by EMC Insurance Companies.
"Ring of Fire" celebrates the Man in Black, Johnny Cash. Born a poor Arkansas boy, he picked cotton on the family farm before embarking on a 50 year career in music that includes more than 1,000 songs, 17 Grammys, and more than 90 million in album sales. Johnny Cash is still one of the most popular entertainers of all-time.
"Ring of Fire" tells Johnny Cash's story of faith, family, passion, redemption, and salvation. A gifted cast of singers and musicians presents 30 Johnny Cash hits including "Daddy Sang Bass," "Jackson," "Folsom Prison Blues," "A Boy Named Sue," "I Walk the Line," and, of course, "Ring of Fire."
"Ring of Fire" features Elisabeth Ballstadt, Randy Burk, Douglas Cochrane, Preshia Paulding, Sarah Stallman, Dane Van Brocklin, and Ben Wantland, backed by a five-piece band. "Ring of Fire" is directed by John Viars, with musical direction by Brenton Brown and choreography by Alison Shafer.
The Playhouse is also introducing two new programs with "Ring of Fire." Audiences are encouraged to come to the theatre 45 minutes prior to curtain for a preshow talk about the show. After the show, on Friday and Saturday evenings, audiences are invited to stay for live music and drinks in the lobby.
The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
