Costume Sale
Chad Brokaw, technical director for the theater, noted that the Students of Performing Arts and Music Organization (SPAMO) costume and vintage clothes sale will be in the Cultural Centre from 2-6 p.m on Thursday Sept. 12., 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday Sept. 13, and 11 a.m.-4 p.m Saturday, Sept. 14.
All clothing is reasonably priced, Brokaw said. The sale is open to the public and is cash only with all proceeds going to SPAMO.
Forever Plaid
“Forever Plaid” is a musical about a ‘60s guy group of four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who got together because of their love for music and became “Forever Plaid.”
On the way to their first big gig, the “Plaids” are hit by a school bus and killed instantly. It is in that moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins. Harmonizing, arguing over small things, and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with overzealous precision, the “Plaids” will be a show the whole family will enjoy, Kuetzer said.
