Whoa, Brittania! Panic at the BBC!  The year is 1944, America's favorite singing cowboy and his troupe are late for a special broadcast at the BBC in London.

Out of desperation, Mabel, their tour manager, and Miles, the frantic young producer, grab whomever they can... a snobby announcer, an amiable sound man, a passing soap opera actor... slap them into costume, hand them scripts (after all, it's radio!) and shove them in front of the studio audience. The resulting performance is one England will never forget.
 
QCT's cast consists of Hanna Graham, Keith Haisten, Michael Phifer, Terry Casburn, Bob Hibbard, and Randy Parrish. Musicians are: Glenda Schill, Ann Norris, Jeff Norris, Christine Gomez, and Jeannette Peel.

Those musical thespians at Quitman Community Theatre are ready for their next production, the riotous Neil Simon comedy, Come Blow Your Horn.

Production dates are Friday and Saturday, May 13,14,20,21 at 7:30 pm, and again on Sunday, May 15 and 22 at 2:00 pm, at the Carroll Green Civic Center in Quitman. 

Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for 12 and under (although we don't recommend this one for children). Pictured L-R are Toni Cole, Hannah Graham, Becky Hibbard, and Candace Brooks.
 
Come Blow Your Horn is Neil Simon's first Broadway hit. It is the story of a young man coming of age in New York City in 1961, starring Brett Murphy and Ben Patrick as the two Baker brothers.

Featured performers are Becky Hibbard, Jeff Hurley, Candace Brooks, Hannah Graham, and Toni Cole. This production will be underwritten by Bank Texas.
 
The Opening Night Gala on Friday, May 13 will start at 6:45 pm and will be hosted by the Forever Young Activity Center.

The award-winning Quitman Community Theatre will present the second part of the Smoke on the Mountain musical trilogy, The Sanders Family Christmas. Performance dates are October 29, 30, 31 and November 5,6,7 at the Carroll Green Civic Center in Quitman.

Curtain times are 7:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2pm on Sundays. Set on December 24, 1941, seventeen days after Pearl Harbor and FDR's declaration of war, the play takes place in the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

This will be the last "Saturday Night Sing" for the Sanders Family prior to the war forcing the group to disband. There are 28 standard Christmas carols and gospel songs that will be presented through the course of the play. Piano, guitar, string bass, autoharp, banjo, and other instruments will be used for all of the songs, along with the actors' wonderful singing harmony.

The first presentation of the Smoke on the Mountain trilogy two years ago was the highest-attended play in QCT's history, and it is expected that this Part 2 will break that record.
