Four reincarnated male singers are back to create humor, joy, and plenty of holiday songs for Derby Dinner's production of Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings, which begins tomorrow.
Plaid Tidings will have performances that run each day except Mondays from Nov. 16 until Dec. 31. Shows in the evenings will begin at 7:45 p.m. with buffet and doors opening at 6 p.m. Sunday matinees will take place at 1:30 p.m. with buffet and doors opening at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday matinees will occur at 1 p.m. with doors and buffet opening at 11:45 a.m.
All performances will take place at Derby Dinner Playhouse, located at 525 Marriott Drive in Clarksville, IN.
Tickets for each show depend on the day. Shows on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday evenings are $39, Friday evening shows are $40, Saturday evening shows are $43, Sunday matinees are $35, and Wednesday matinees are $34.
Tickets can be purchased online at the Derby Dinner website or by calling the box office at 812-288-8281. Information on a New Year's Eve celebration, which includes Plaid Tidings, can also be found at the Derby Dinner website.
Plaid Tidings is essentially a sequel to Forever Plaid, which features a reincarnation of four male singers who sang 50s pop classics. Plaid Tidings features the same four singers, who are sent back down to Earth and told (via a phone call from Rosemary Clooney) to put on a Christmas special.
Musical numbers include holiday classics like Let It Snow, a Jingle Bell melody, and Twuz the Nite B4. The singers will also take part in an extremely-shortened version of The Ed Sullivan Show.
The Plaid Tidings cast features Nicholas Mason as Frankie, Matthew Brennan as Sparky, John T. Lynes as Jinx, and Matthew Bryan Feld as Smudge. Lee Buckholz directed the production, Scott Bradley was musical director, and Megan Muller served as choreographer.
While Plaid Tidings is taking place, the children's theatre will present Christmas and Candyland. The production will begin on Nov. 20.
