South Pacific, a Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, brings together a female American nurse and a French planter. As these two fall in love, they deal with outside issues like WWII and learned prejudices. They must also overcome a tragedy that claims the life of someone they knew.
Cyndi Powell Skellie directed the production, which Rodgers and Hammerstein created in 1949 alongside Joshua Logan.
Following South Pacific, Shelby County Community Theatre will present Jack and the Giant, a youth production that will occur in September.
