“Luisa and Matt” (played by Madison Smith and Matthew Mindeman) with fathers, “Bellomy” (left, played by William Smith) and “Hucklebee” (played by James Caleb Reed).
Back Alley Productions invites you to follow the story of this young couple as they present the American musical, “The Fantasticks.” The classic comes to life at the Walker County Community Theater at 10052 North Highway 27, Rock Spring, Ga. Performances are March 8, 9, 15, 16 at 7:30 p.m.
“When was the first time you fell in love,” director Kaylee Smith asks. “That’s what this whole play is about. Two young kids - Luisa and Matt - fall in love and grow up together, learning that life is more complicated than it first seems. Even if you’ve never heard of the Fantasticks, that’s a story most people have experienced for themselves by a certain age.”
As the couple grows up, they confront scheming fathers, shady actors, a bandit, Indians, the world and, ultimately, each other.
“The production is very funny, very sweet, and we have an excellent cast from talented folks who live in Ringgold, Walker County, Dalton and Chattanooga,” Smith added. “We’re really excited to show our company’s first musical. The work and long nights have been especially easy because the cast has shown a lot of dedication and a love for the story.When your actors are as passionate about the show as you are as a director, you know you’re in for something great.”
Musical director is Colby Jones of Dalton. Co–director is Kelsea Rambin. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for children and seniors and can be purchased at the door or online at backalleyproductions.org. As is tradition with Back Alley Productions, local police and fire officials get two free tickets to bring their families to the event with ID. For more information, call (706) 621-2870.
