Depot Players present Encore Performances of RING OF FIRE
By: A.A. Cristi
After selling out the February run of Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash, the Wetumpka Depot Players will remount the show on March 16 and 17th. The musical is a celebration of the legendary "Man in Black". From the songbook of Johnny Cash comes this unique musical about love, faith, struggle, success, home and family. More than two dozen classic Cash hits-including "I Walk the Line", "A Boy Named Sue", "Folsom Prison Blues" are performed by a multitalented cast who paint a musical portrait of the one time "Country Boy". The experience created by Richard Maltby, Jr. promises to be a foot-stomping, crowd pleasing salute to a uniquely American legend.
"Due to audience demand and after our sold out run, we decided to present two final encore performances of this wildly popular show" said director, Kristy Meanor. "While there is no Cash impersonator, the cast sings his story through his award winning songs. The iconic music is all there, but so are several lesser known songs that showcase the struggles, highlights and humorous side of the legendary Country star. This show will be hit with anyone who cherishes home, back porches and nostalgic memories of listening to the Grand Ole Opry!"
The multi talented cast not only sings their way through the music, but they all play various instruments as well. The cast is composed of Gavin Fuller, Rebecca Ivey, Kim Mason, Tom Salter, Donnie Tomlin, Jonathan Yarboro, Cindy Veazey, Jimmy Veazey and Jenny Whisenhunt.
Tickets are available by calling 334.868.1440 or visiting wetumpkadepot.com. The Depot box office is open Wednesday- Friday9am-3pm at 300 S Main Street.
