Suncoast AIDS Theatre Project Stages BLOWN BY THE WIND Tonight
Suncoast AIDS Theatre Project is celebrating its 11-Year Anniversary with their Annual "Prelude to Pride" salute with an original adaptation by T. Scott Wooten entitled BLOWN BY THE WIND; a hilarious and naughty sendup of the fabled classic film "Gone With The Wind". This "Wind" is just in time for St. Petersburg Pride Celebration so come join the fun, following Scarlett, Rhett and her friends as they recall a civilization, blown by the wind.
PRELUDE TO PRIDE: BLOWN BY THE WIND stars Matt McGee, as Scarlet; ShaRon Scott as Mammy, Joey Panek as Ashley; Betty Jane Parks as Melanie; Chris Jackson as Rhett; Sara DelBeato as Belle; and Joe Parra as Mr. O'Hara.
T. Scott Wooten adapted the story and Michael Raabe will accompany the cast at the keyboard. All performers are donating their time and talents for this production.
These two performances will benefit PWA (People with AIDS) programs at Metropolitan Charities of Pinellas.
