Reservations are now being accepted for the Marion Art Center’s summer musical production: “Stars & Stripes Forever Musical Revue.” The show opens on August 15 and will run on August 16 and 17. All shows are at 8:00 pm. The Art Center is located at 80 Pleasant Street, Marion.
This rousing revue will mimic a USO show, with the audience being entertained as the “troops,” and will feature the velvet tones of the sensational “Swanson Sisters from Sheboygan: Dixie, Trixie & Pixie,” (played by Caroline Blaise, Pam Breton and Denise Bastos) and hosted by the hilariously funny “Frankie B. Sharpe” (played by Eric Bosworth). Caroline, Pam, Denise and Eric are all members of the Occasion Singers, who perform regularly at MAC. Audiences will delight in hearing some lovely old standards like “Sentimental Journey,” “Fever,” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and be invited to participate in a patriotic sing-a-long at the end.
The MAC theatre will be set up cabaret style, and guests may bring their own refreshments. Tables are available for reserved parties of four.
Tickets are $12.50 for MAC Members and $15 for non-members and may be purchased online at www.marionartcenter.org/buytickets. Email reservations are also accepted.
