"THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES"
Take a trip back to the 1958 Springfield High school prom where we meet The Marvelous Wonderettes, four girls with voices as big as their bouffants and personalities as kooky as their crinoline skirts! From prom night to their ten-year reunion the girls perform such classic hits as "It's My Party, "Mr. Sandman," "Son of a Preacher Man," "Leader of the Pack," "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," "You Don't Own Me," "RESPECT," and many more!
For more than four seasons, David Garnes has led Little Theatre's Lunchtime Lecture Series. He is the author of three books: Waitin' for the Train to Come In: A Novel of World War II; a book of memoir essays, From My Life: Travels and Adventures; and After the War Was Over: Poems of an American Childhood. His essays have appeared in many publications, including America in WWII, The Isherwood Century, Telling Tales Out Of School, Latin Lovers, Stories From The Other Side, Chicken Soup For the Volunteer's Soul, Liberating Minds, When A Lifemate Dies, A Loving Testimony, Mourning Our Mothers, and various newspapers and academic reference books. Garnes' forthcoming books are Back to Manhattan: A Life in New York and Morningside Drive, a spin-off to his World War II novel.
Little Theatre's Lunchtime Lecture Series is offered the week before the opening night of each production. These popular conversations offer an opportunity to learn about the upcoming shows, providing background information about the play or musical, its production history and the playwright and other artists. These discussions are informal lecture-style with the opportunity to ask questions following the chat. Lunchtime Lectures are free of charge and need no reservations or tickets.
