Maryland Ensemble Theatre Presents THE ALL NEW GRAND OLE HEE HAW HOOTENANNY HOEDOWN JAMBOREE, 5/10

Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is proud to present an original ensemble created production for the Fredneck in all of us, The All New Grand Ole Hee Haw Hootenanny Hoedown Jamboree. The title says it all, the Jamboree is sure to have you busting a gut, tapping your toes, singing along and pulling the straw from your teeth. The show will feature hilarious original sketches and a revolving roster of guest artists and musical acts. Directed by MET Artistic Director Tad Janes and Associate Artistic Directors Gené Fouché and Julie Herber, the show runs from May 10 through June 3 every Thursday through Sunday at the MET, located in the historic FSK hotel at 31 W Patrick Street.

The cast creating the show includes a mix of MET company members like Gené Fouché, Ashley Hall, Julie Herber, Tad Janes, JoAnn Lee, Allison Lepelletier, Mak Nickols, Ken Poisson and Reiner Prochaska with some new faces and MET veterans like Jon Paul Duvall, Larry Fellows, Joe Jalette, Courtney McLaughlin & Sam Wayland. As if those fourteen performers weren't enough for the intimate MET theatre they will be joined by guest players Jeanine Collins, Matt Lee and Rona Mensah.

The All New Grand Ole Hee Haw Hootenanny Hoedown Jamboree will also feature the hilariously nomadic lifelong friends know as the Traveling Dingleberrys (May 10, 24-25, 27), the comedic musician Denny Grizzle (May 11-13) and the comic stylings of solo acts including Joe Costa (May 26), Kristen Trump (May 17-20) and more.

The All New Grand Ole Hee Haw Hootenanny Hoedown Jamboree runs from May 10 through June 3 every Thursday through Saturday at 8pm and Sundays at 7pm (May 13 & June 3rd) and 2pm (May 20 & 27). The May 20th performance will include a post-show talk-back with the cast, directors, and creators of the show. The opening will be celebrated on May 13 at 6pm with a pre-show reception catered by The Greene Turtle preceding the performance at 7pm.
