“Forever Plaid”

TUAC to present “Forever Plaid” – One Performance Only!!!

“Forever Plaid” is coming to the R E Lee Auditorium on October 13 for one performance only! The show will begin at 7:00 and tickets, adults $8 and children $6, may be purchased from Thomaston Upson Arts Council or at the door.

“Forever Plaid”, directed by Anita Fillingim, is one of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory. This deliciously goofy revue centers on four eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1960's on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was.

‘Plaid’ is 90 percent music but there’s a lot of character on display from Jinx (Bill Woodall), Francis (Larry Mitcham), Sparky (John Cox) and Smudge (Phil Leverett). Singing in the closest of harmony and executing their choreography with over-zealous precision, the show is a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences amused when they're not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the 1950's.

Dr. Keith Huckaby, drums, will join Anita Fillingim, pianist to provide the accompaniment to many of the favorite hits of the 1950’s singing groups such as The Four Aces, The Four Freshman and the Four Lads. “Three Coins in a Fountain”, “Sixteen Tons”, “Love is a Many Splendored Thing”, “Crazy Bout Ya Baby” and many more familiar tunes will bring back fond memories of that era.
