The IVCC theatre department production of Forever Plaid is a must see. Forever Plaid is a small but mighty crew that brought laughs, and positive energy to the audience.  As the musical featured well known songs and not-so recognizable songs, the 4 talented singers, Jake Jakielski (Frankie), Gennaro Piccolo (Smudge), Don Grant Zellmer (Sparky), and Lucus Fraga (Jinx) made the night go by fast each adding their own element to the songs, while doing a phenomenal job as dancing freely but not sloppy.  

Nonetheless, the crew involving stage builders, stage crew, and spotlight operation were John Piccolo, Gennaro Piccolo, Azlyn Bachman, Kaitie Monaghan, Michael Shaw, William Bates and Tyler Bienemann, did a fantastic job providing a well-done set.  The set featured a disco ball, smoke, and a variety of colored lights with the addition of capturing the 1962 vibe. The production featured some entertaining crowd interaction, and comical jokes. 

 Furthermore, I was thoroughly impressed, and the performers did an outstanding performance on their first night. Do not forget to “Woo-hoo,” and clap because this musical deserves attention.   If after watching Forever Plaid made you eager to get on stage IVCC theatre production is doing “Hello Dolly” as their spring musical and auditions will be announced on IVCC Fine Arts group on Facebook.
