Random Acts of Theatre Players ~ 1959 Pink Thunderbird
Aug 9th
The Random Acts of Theatre Players proudly present their fall show “1959 Pink Thunderbird” by James McClure. The show will be presented on August 12,13 and 14, 2010 at 7:30pm in the Twin Falls Senior Center. The play is two one acts that explore the close knit lives of 6 small town Texas residents. Roy, a Vietnam Veteran and his brother Ray are talkin’ and drinkin’ when Ray’s friend Cletis “Skeeter” Fullernoy delivers some unpleasant news. We also get a glimpse into Roy’s wife Elizabeth’s life as she and her best friend Hattie are drinking Bourbon and folding laundry on a hot afternoon, reminiscing about their high schools days. When local gossip Amy Lee Fullernoy drops by the conversation takes a turn. Come see what happens! Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $7.00 for seniors and will be available at the door or by calling/texting 420-3979.
