Photos: First look at Curtain Players’ FOREVER PLAID

Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music and then got together to become their idols ? The Four Freshman, The Hi-Lo's and The Crew Cuts. Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company, they became "Forever Plaid". On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at the moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins... Singing in close harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with overzealous precision, the "Plaids" are a guaranteed smash, with a program of pop hits of the 1950s and delightful patter.

Written by Stuart Ross & James Raitt, Directed by Liane Golightly-Kissner, Stage Manager Ro Frazee, Cast: Adam Frazee (Sparky), David Hendricks (Francis), Eric Lavery (Jinx), & Will O'Brien (Smudge).
