Opening Thursday, April 16 – Voices of Valor – ONE WEEKEND ONLY
For cast and crew — the photos from this show will be online a few days after the show is over. For the rest of my readers, here is the show announcement for this wonderful performance:
Friends of Rice Audio Production and Charles Dee Rice Photography…
I want to invite you to a theatre show that I think you would sincerely enjoy and never forget. I have worked on many shows, in many different capacities. When I think back over my theatrical accomplishments in the capacity of actor, photographer, sound designer or any other role — THIS show is one of which I am most proud. To me, it represents the culmination of every element in theatre — supurb writing, wonderful directing, breathtaking lighting, striking visuals and (of course) 😉 incredible sound.
Honestly, this show has it all, and I urge you with all my heart — COME SEE THIS SHOW.
Please note this show runs for THIS WEEKEND and is up for ONE WEEKEND ONLY. If you miss it, it’s gone. That would honestly be a shame — you won’t have the opportunity to laugh, cry and completely lose yourself in really good theatre like this for a long, long time again.
“Life’s too short for bad theatre.” This is good theatre. This is GREAT theatre. Don’t miss it.
