Pontiac Theatre IV to Present AYE DO, 5/1-9

Pontiac Theatre IV will present the original comedy 'Aye Do as the second production of its 2014-2015 season May 1st-9th, 2015, at Pontiac High School.

Written by Three Rivers, Michigan's Shannon Piper, 'Aye Do takes place at a wedding between a Scottish groom and an Indian bride. The story itself has very little to do with the couple, however, focusing instead on the wacky ongoing conversations and interactions between the guests and venue staff in the wedding hall bathrooms. Pontiac Theatre IV's production will be the first time the show is performed in Southeastern Michigan, and original cast member Laura Johns is the perfect fit to direct this motley crew of characters.

A talented cast will bring this hilarious show to life: Maria Bermudez, Toni Brunk, Zachary Brunk, Lillie Ferrell, Rebecca Gloden, Chuck Goddeeris, Sean Harbert, Lois Keel, Tony Merlo, Michael Nunley, Melanie Olmsted, Scott Rajala, Daina Schippers, McKinley Shaw, Shayna Shaw, Jake Singer, Jen Talas, Caitlyn Thompson, and Jackie Thompson. Laura Johns will direct and John Tonner will produce.

Pontiac Theatre IV began as a summer venture in 1969 with what was then the Pontiac Parks and Recreation Department (now Community and Human Services) of the City of Pontiac. In 1973, the group decided to become an independent community theatre company separate from the Pontiac Parks and Recreation Department. Because the department had provided sponsorship for four years, the group elected to take the name Pontiac Theatre IV. Over the years we have enjoyed the support of local business and industry, the Pontiac schools, and the City of Pontiac, which still provides space for storage and rehearsals. As a community theatre, we welcome the participation of all interested people.
