SUBSCRIPTIONS ON SALE NOW FOR SEASIDE MUSIC THEATER'S WINTER 2005-06 SEASON – Our most "moving" season yet! |
Preparations have begun for Seaside Music Theater's (SMT) most "moving" season ever, Winter 2005-06. With two tender-hearted audience-pleasing musicals, SMT waves goodbye to its SMT Downtown stage and hello to its new one in the magnificent newly-built News-Journal Center. First, SMT pays a heartfelt tribute to its SMT Downtown facility and to one of music's most celebrated legends in Always…Patsy Cline, October 27 – November 20. In this last theatrical production on this downtown stage, a stage that has held such characters as Roxie Hart, Groucho Marx, the Magical Mr. Mistofellees, Peter Rabbit, and Audrey II to name a few, SMT adds one final personality to SMT Downtown's history with Patsy. Patsy's voice, heart, and famous sense of humor are captured by SMT actress Darlin Barry, who has appeared in SMT's productions of Oklahoma! (Aunt Eller), A Tale of Two Cities (Miss Pross), Ragtime (Houdini's Mother), Honky Tonk Angels (Angela), and Nunsense (Sister Mary Regina). Barry has played Patsy five times before and says that the most rewarding thing about doing so is when people say that she's brought her back for a few hours. Always…Patsy Cline features over 25 of Patsy's songs and tells a touching story of friendship that properly gives SMT Downtown a sweet and celebratory ride into the sunset.Founded in 1977, Seaside Music Theater is now in its 29th year as a professional theater and has become an integral part of our area's cultural heritage. Recently voted the "Florida's Best Professional Theater" by Florida Monthly Magazine, SMT is the largest professional theater within a 100-mile radius and the only major resident musical theater company in the Southeast. |
