DIVA board members Amy and Andy Dudas are directing fellow board member Jared Adamson and his co-star Alisa Clapp-Itnyre in a Visionary Production at Richmond Civic Theatre – Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins.
Shows are January 19, 20, and 21. Tickets are on sale now at gorct.org or call the box office at 765-962-1816. We also have a student matinee January 19 at 930am. Anyone with a valid student ID may come see this show for free. FREE! Space will be limited however as the schools already committed to attending will get seating priority.
This show is about two artists who become an unlikely pair of friends through their love of music. A woman who believes herself to be a world class operatic Soprano but is in fact totally unaware she cannot carry a tune at all and her truly gifted piano accompanist who gets dragged along for the ride.
This story is about friendship. With their love of music acting as a stepping stone to the friendship that will blossom under rather unusual circumstances. The show reminds us all how much we need true friendship in our lives and how much art impacts us everyday.
We would like to thank the The Leland Legacy for their generous act in loaning us their piano for this show and The Two Sisters: Books and More for their loan of their phonograph.
If you have never been to Richmond Civic Theatre, this would be a good show with which to start. A simple show that will have you leaving the theater with a smile on your face. This show will remind us how much good there is in the world. A very clean show with just a couple of slight curse words. A very PG show suitable for everyone but kids under ten may get bored but rest assured there are plenty of laughs for everybody.
We would be honored if you could join us for our show.
