Contributed by Jenna Worley
Valley Performing Arts’ Golden 50th Season is off and running! Hopefully you didn’t miss our first two hit shows, “Aboveboard” and “Radium Girls”. If you did, don’t make the same mistake again!
Tickets for all the shows in our upcoming lineup are on sale at www.vpaalaska.org or by calling (907) 373-0125.
Our Christmas Double Feature opens Nov 21. Kick off the holidays with two timeless classics: “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, together for one evening of entertainment! Start the evening by stepping back in time to the golden age of radio with “It’s a Wonderful Life, a Live Radio Play”. Be the live audience as you watch a radio program performed on our stage, complete with practical sound effects and voice acting. Finish off the evening with “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.
Join Charlie Brown on his quest to discover the true meaning of Christmas together with all of your favorite Peanuts characters. This production is full of nostalgia, music, and holiday cheer.
“Magician’s Nephew”, the first tale from the land of Narnia, opens Jan 9. Good battles evil in this C.S. Lewis classic. Mythical kingdoms, talking animals, an evil queen, and a heroic lion make this a thrilling show, perfect for the whole family.
“Rex’s Exes” takes the stage Feb 20 for our wildly popular dinner theater event. Catch up with Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette (the Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas), in this southern-fried comedy about family, friends, and turning the big 5-0. Seating is limited.
Our Season Finale is the golden ticket musical – “Willy Wonka”, performed at the Glenn Massay Theatre, beginning March 27. Showing for only two weekends. Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka is an adventure for young and old alike. Live music, amusing characters, and lots of chocolate will make this a show to remember!
