Renaissance Theatre Announces Fall 2009 Shows

The Renaissance Theatre program at Bethel College has confirmed the shows for the Fall of 2009. The first production will be the endearing and comic play “The Curious Savage” by John Patrick. This play tells the story of the wealthy widow Mrs. Ethel Savage, who has been placed in a sanatorium by her children, determined to get a piece of the wealth that she possesses. While there, Mrs. Savage meets a cast of delightfully odd characters who show her the true value of wealth and happiness. This family comedy reminds us of the virtues of kindness, humility, and generosity that seem lost in a world that is driven by greed and dishonesty. “The Curious Savage” will be performed at the Bethel Performing Arts Center in McKenzie on September 24-27. Thursday through Saturday shows will take place at 7:00 pm, while the Sunday performance will be at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under and will be available soon. “The Curious Savage” is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.

Renaissance Theatre is also delighted to present the musical experience “Some Enchanted Evening: The Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein.” Join us as we celebrate the music of Broadway’s greatest writing team and hear your favorite songs from classic Broadway shows including THE SOUND OF MUSIC, SOUTH PACIFIC, OKLAHOMA!, THE KING AND I, CAROUSEL, and many others. This high energy musical revue will feature fantastic singers and dancers performing some of the most famous songs ever to be sung on stage and screen. You will not want to miss this special event! “Some Enchanted Evening” will be performed on November 5-8 at the Bethel Performing Arts Center. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening performances will take place at 7:00 pm, with matinees scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for children 12 and under. Tickets will go on sale in October and group rates are available. “Some Enchanted Evening: The Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein” is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatrical: www.rnhtheatricals.com.
