Old Opera House Cancels Friday & Saturday Performances of MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS

Due to the weather forecast, the Old Opera House is cancelling their scheduled performances on Friday 2/5 & Saturday 2/6 of Ron Hutchinson's comedy MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS.

The show will perform next weekend on Friday, February 12 at 8 pm, Saturday, February 13 at 8 pm, and Sunday, February 14 at 2:30 pm.

1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, because the screenplay simply doesn't work. Famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and formidable director Victor Fleming are summoned to his office and together they fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most beloved films of all time.

Director Caroline Cash, who brought the hit musical-comedy, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change to the Old Opera House stage last season, has assembled a cast of seasoned comedic talent to bring this farce to life, including David Porterfield, J.D. Wine, Steven Brewer and Sandra DeRocha.

According to the Chicago Sun Times, MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS is, "a Hollywood dream-factory farce...At once a hyperventilating slapstick comedy, an impassioned love song and a blazing critique of Hollywood...just when you think it's all fun and games...[Hutchinson] turns the tables...he has a gift for enveloping you in blackness. And then, with a single line...he also can lift the heavy cloud and get on with the hilarity."
