Wetumpka Depot Players to Walk the Line with 37th Season Opener RING OF FIRE

By:

The Wetumpka Depot Players are walking the line to kick off their 37th Season with Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash. A celebration of the legendary "Man in Black" the musical plays on the Depot stage February 9-25.

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.

"The show is the journey of Cash's incredible life told through his songs," 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.

The Wetumpka Depot Theatre is located at 300 S Main Street in historic downtown Wetumpka. Tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at 334.868.1440 or online at wetumpkadepot.com.
