ST. MARYS LITTLE THEATRE HOLDING AUDITIONS FOR CHRISTMAS PRODUCTION

 

Tuesday, November 1^st at 6 pm,  Theatre by the Trax, 1000 Osborne Road, St. Marys

 

St. Marys, GA—‘Twas the Night Before Christmas is the name of St. Marys Little Theatre’s holiday production that will be performed at Theatre by the Trax on December 16, 17 and 18. Auditions for all parts will be held on November 1 at 6 pm at Theatre by the Trax, 1000 Osborne Road in St. Marys. Roles that need to be filled include:

 

Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, 6-8 year old girl and boy, mom and dad (25-40 years old), other children to be elves, adult carolers, and more.

 

All roles (except mom and dad) are singing parts. Families are encouraged to audition together if interested.

 

According to St. Marys Little Theatre Chair, Barbara Ryan, the group’s first holiday production will be an enchanting musical that will appeal to all ages.

 

“It begins with little Susie Anderson who lives in St. Marys and has lost her belief in Santa,” Ryan said. “But before the show is over, she is inspired to believe, as will the entire audience.”

 

Audiences can expect special effects at the same level of quality as they enjoyed in Man of La Mancha, the Theatre’s premiere production. Joe and Terra Lucent, producers of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, wanted to give the community an opportunity to share the joy of the holiday with a message of hope and love.

 

“We’ve mixed traditional songs with contemporary music and threaded it all with a story that will stir the hearts of everyone,” Terra said. “My husband and I love Christmas. It really is the most wonderful time of the year, and it will be even more special this year as we endeavor to enrich the community’s experience of the holidays with this beautiful production.”

 

The play’s script was written by Barbara Ryan and is anchored by the beloved poem that is carried by the play’s name. Tickets can be purchased at the St. Marys Welcome Center, Bulldog Liquors, or Cedar Oak Café. Prices are $10 for adults, and $6 for children under 12.

ST. MARYS LITTLE THEATRE HOSTS “DANCING TO THE OLDIES”

NOVEMBER 12, 2011 at 7 PM

BORRELL CREEK LANDING, ST. MARYS

 

 

ST. MARYS, GA—The public is invited to  dust off their penny loafers, press their poodle skirts, and come out for some nostalgic good times at the November 12 “Dancing to the Oldies” event. The event is designed to introduce the community to the players of the theatre and participate in a dinner and dance in the spirit of the 50s and 60s.

 

Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes, and even Elvis might make an appearance. Music will be provided by Live and Direct Entertainment featuring Michael Jacobs.

 

St. Marys Little Theatre chair, Barbara Ryan, said the evening is all about celebrating the simpler times when  rock ‘n’ roll was in its infancy and artists like Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper were changing the cultural landscape of America.

 

“In the midst of today’s hectic pace, we’ve all yearned for a time of innocence when life was an adventure without the pressures of advanced technology,” Ryan said. “Dancing to the Oldies is the perfect venue to step back into a world of optimism and dreams.”

 

The evening will feature a retro dinner, silent auction, souvenir photos, and a few surprises, according to Ryan.

 

“Borrell Creek Landing with its retreat-like setting over the marsh is the perfect place to immerse into an evening of yesteryear,” Ryan said.

 

For reservations to Dancing to the Oldies, email barbara@stormersmarketing.com. Tickets are $35 per person. St. Marys Little Theatre is a 501(c)3 organization. Proceeds from the dance will be used to purchase equipment, props, costumes,  and supplies for upcoming theatre productions.

HAUNTED HISTORY TOUR IN HISTORIC ST. MARYS, GEORGIA (October 28, 2011)

HAUNTED HISTORY TOUR IN HISTORIC ST. MARYS, GEORGIA

 

Legends and Local Spirits Share Their Tales

 

ST. MARYS, GA (October 6, 2011) – The St. Marys Downtown Merchants’ Association presents the 3^rd Annual Haunted History Tour on Friday, October 28, 2011 from 6pm - 9pm in downtown St. Marys.

 

For a fun and educational Halloween activity, this downtown event can’t be beat. Blending legends with authentic historical events, professional and amateur storytellers will hold court at ten noteworthy St. Marys sites. Each presenter will be fully costumed to reflect their respective time periods. This year’s cast and locations include a few favorites from prior tours mixed in with chilling new acts. Some hot-spots will feature details from actual paranormal investigations done by the Southern Paranormal Research Society.

 

Throughout the historic district, guests will be amused by lore such as that of Sam, a faithful servant at Orange Hall, who has lots of points he’d like the living to be aware of. The spirit of Charles Gilman, at the Gilman Boat House, will share his enjoyment of the past and his hope for the future. The evening would not be complete without an ethereal visit from our beloved Resurrection Angel and she’s eager to speak from beyond once again.

 

Included sites in the 2011 tour are Oak Grove Cemetery, the Memory Garden Gazebo, St. Marys Submarine Museum, Riverview Hotel, the sailing vessel Dream at the Waterfront Pavilion Dock, Gilman Boathouse, Goodbread House, St. Marys Film Museum, Archibald Clark House, and Orange Hall.

 

“The DMA is always proud to host events that assist in bringing people downtown to enjoy the area. The planning committee was excited to have partnered with the SPRS to produce some stories relating to the “haunted” history of St. Marys,”said DMA’s president, Jolene Haney.

 

The tour will begin at 6pm and suggested starting points are Orange Hall or Oak Grove Cemetery. Golf carts will be utilized as courtesy shuttles for those needing assistance navigating the tour route.

 

Prices are $8 in advance and $10 on the day of the event. Special group rates are available for groups of 20 or more guests. Tickets are available now and may be purchased at the St. Marys Welcome Center until 7pm the night of the event or at Once Upon A Bookseller until 6pm the night of the event.  For more information, call 912-882-4000 or info@stmaryswelcome.com.
