We might not have a theater IN Pinehurst but there are many spread out around us. And many Pinehurst residents are involved in Seattle Musical Theatre and they’re offering a special offer to blog readers I wanted to pass along.
Seattle Musical Theatre at Magnuson Park is proud to present the Northwest premiere of 110 in the Shade, May 7 through 23.
This gem of a musical, based on the 1954 play The Rainmaker (and later the 1956 film that starred Katherine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster) is considered by many to be the finest work of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, who wrote The Fantasticks.
The scene is July, 1936 in the drought-ridden community of Three Point, Texas. Languishing in the unrelenting heat, Lizzie Curry – too smart and too witty for her own good – ponders her future as an old maid. Her farther and brothers have tried to scare up some husband material, but the only likely prospect isn’t cooperating. Enter handsome Bill Starbuck, a charming con man who claims he can bring much needed relief – rain – within 24 hours. His arrival sets off a series of sizzling events.
Loaded with haunting music and lively dancing, 110 in the Shade delivers a great evening of musical theatre. Tickets are $25 – $35.
SPECIAL FOR PINEHURST BLOG READERS: Call the box office at 206-363-2809 and mention the code BLOG to receive $10 off ANY performance. Please limit 4 tickets at this price.
