Tongue and Groove Theatre Presents SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD (PLUS ONE), Now thru 8/26

Seven Wonders of the World (Plus One) is a romantic musical adventure running tonight, August 16-26 @ 8pm at The Rollins Studio Theatre in The Long Center for the Performing Arts in Austin, Texas. The source material for this original comedy, directed and adapted by Tongue and Groove Artistic Director, David Yeakle, is a 1940s-era suite of songs by the late record producer, Robert Scherman.

The story follows a dreamer across time and space to various landmarks of both the ancient world and modern U.S., bouncing from then to now, from temple to skyscraper, classical drama to screwball romance.

This is the 10th anniversary of Tongue and Groove’s original staging; the 2002 Austin Critic’s Table awarded the production “Most Unique Theatrical Experience”.

This new production stars Mark Stewart, who originated the role of Richard ten years ago, and Courtney Hopkin as Martha, and features lighting design by Jason Amato, costumes by Pam Friday, and settings by Wendy Mitchell. The show is designed to be enjoyed by the entire family.

Tickets for general admission are $20, with discounts for students and seniors, and can be purchased through the Long Center Box Office. The production will run for only two weeks, opening tonight, August 16, continuing through Sunday, August 19th, resuming Wednesday, August 22 through Sunday August 26. All performances are at 8:00p.m.
