Forever Plaid, written by Stuart Ross, is a 90-minute fast paced musical comedy set in the 1950's, featuring classic hits of the era. The one-act story tells of an all male quartet of high school chums, who return from the after-life to fulfill their dream of becoming recording stars as they perform hits like "Three Coins in a Fountain," "Sixteen Tons," "Rags to Riches," "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" and more!
The professional cast includes Blake Rushing Mitchell (as Francis), Adourin Jamelle Owens (as Jinx), Lynford Parries* (as Smudge) and Jameson Stobbe (as Sparky).
Seasoned professional Mr. Steven Flaa* will direct, Christopher Leavy** will music direct the production and The Playhouse trio will accompany, with Mr. Leavy** on piano, Ned Wilkinson on bass, and Sam Forrest on percussion.
