CPCC Summer Theatre, Charlotte's only professional summer stock theatre, is pleased to bring "The Will Rogers Follies" to the Dale F. Halton Theater stage June 17-25 for audiences of all ages to enjoy.

Join us as this production follows the life and career of famed humorist and performer Will Rogers. Set against the backdrop of the Ziegfeld Follies, the theatrical production he often headlined, the character of Will Rogers describes every episode of his life as a big production number. Audiences will delight in this energetic and visually appealing show that not only features numerous musical numbers and comedic moments, but also places a spotlight on Will Rogers - the quintessential American figure whose most famous quote was, "I never met a man I didn't like."

This production will star Billy Ensley as Will Rogers, Susan Cherin Gundersheim as Betty Blake, James K. Flynn as Clem Rogers and Lucy Werner as Ziegfeld's' Favorite. Don't miss this opportunity to support local theatre. Reserve your seat today!
