Coming Up at New Stage:  

Moonlight and Magnolias By Ron Hutchinson   Directed by Ivan Rider 

April 17-29, 2007

Film mogul, David O. Selznick has just shut down production of his dream
movie, Gone With The Wind.  The script must be rewritten in five days.  He
summons screenwriter, Ben Hecht, and pulls director, Victor Fleming, off the
set of The Wizard of Oz, the perfect guys for the job.  But there's one
problem.  Hecht hasn't read the book.  Locked in Selznick's office,
subsisting on peanuts and bananas, this veteran team, with Selznick playing
every role, creates the movie masterpiece and rewrites Hollywood history.
It's a screwball comedy you won't want to miss!

 

Moonlight & Magnolias performances are April 17-29, 2007.  Ticket prices are
$22.00 with discounts available for students, senior citizens and groups.
Tickets can be purchased at the box office, charged by phone by calling the
