“I’ll Never Be Hungry Again!” , the title of our Winter musical production is also a very famous quote from a very famous book and Movie, Gone With The Wind and now it’s coming to Elizabeth City. In February we have got a treat for you. Based on the classic tale set during the Civil War, it is the wildest ride we’ve ever taken.
David is a grad student assigned to read Gone With The Wind for a Southern Literature class, but he waits until the last minute and passes out in the middle of the story only to wake up and find himself at Terra Firma, the plantation home of Starlett. It’s only a wild, crazy-ass dream, right? Or is it? This slightly skewed take on one of America’s most famous romances… is fraught with musical zaniness. The New Musical written by Catherine Bush and was first performed at the Barter Theater in Abingdon, Virginia in 2006 and again in 2013 both to sold out audiences. It’s a wacky rendering of the now classic tale and its inhabitants with our beloved Starlett, Smelanie, Ghastly Wilkes, Whett Butler, Whammy and many others.
