My Fair Lady - In Texas!
"Cattle Call" Begins Today in Mansfield, TX
When the curtain rises on July16th 2010 at the Kennedale Performing Arts Centre (KPAC), you will forget the unlikely location, and sit open-mouthed at what you are seeing and hearing. This is not Marty Fredrick's first "rodeo" though. Last year she directed her Mansfield Community Theatre (MCT) company in "The Sound of Music" complete with 100 member cast, crew and a full 36 member orchestra, led by the talented Scott Ferrell, MCT's co-founder. It was truly wonderful, performed in the KPAC full fly-tower theatre.
Perhaps the challenge for Marty's Eliza Dolittle will be to overcome her Texas drawl and not her cockney one, as the well known part requires! No fear, by the time the play opens, our Eliza will speak the Queen's English too .... as did the children of Captain Von Trapp last year in MCT's "The Sound of Music". One audience member, shocked by the scale and quality of that show, later recounted just repeating to herself "this is community theatre? This IS community theatre!" in disbelief. MCT is a truly professional group in every sense of the word.
So mosey on down here yall in July, we're a fixing to sing us some Lerner & Lowe. And it's gonna be real good! Bust a leg, or something.
MCT's search for Eliza & cast begins - today. Auditions are in mid April - See the website below.
Maybe soon we will be able to say....
