Balletic ‘Lil’ Red Riding Hood’ — western style!

Hunter Riordan and Grace Morrell prepare for the Oil Region Ballet’s “Lil’ Red Riding Hood,” which puts a western spin on the fairy tale.

In its production of “Lil’ Red Riding Hood” this weekend at the Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin, the Oil Region Ballet will transform the familiar fairy tale into a lively western romp. Cattle and card sharps, town folks and cow pokes, are among a cast of colorful characters that will bring the story to life through the language of dance.

Little Red is the youngest of three sisters who operate a ranch in the Wild

West and are beset by the Big Bad Wolf gang. Wolfgang Dude and his band of outlaws rustle their cattle and kidnap their granny and hold her for ransom. But the Big Bad Wolf gang proves to be no match for Red and her sisters, Pretty Patsy and Green-Eyed Kate, and the friends who come to their aid — includ-ing the sharp-shootin’, trick-ridin’ cow-girl trio of Buffalo Baylee, Doc Halle

The annual Oil Country Bluegrass Festival regularly draws large audiences. It is set to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday in Oil City.

Belles Lettres Club to present ‘Best of Broadway’

Billy and the Neptunes to play at Karma Coffee Co.

Dinner will be served at 6 p.m. in the dining room of the Belles Lettres Club before the show starts.

Award-winning ‘Newsies’ to be performed at Lakeview school

Billy and the Neptunes is the band slated to perform as part of the Karma Concert Series on Thursday.

It is a rockabilly/oldies/doo-wop band specializing in the classic rock and roll of the ‘50s and early ‘60s, along with retro-modern songs and restylized clas-sics. The band draws inspiration from Elvis, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Dion and the Belmonts, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis, Del Shannon and Fats Domino.

The band came together when guitarist Billy Rupert hand picked local musicians to fulfill a near lifelong dream of putting together an oldies band. Their sound came together from the start as the members

rehearsed in a rural barn during the sum-mer of 2018. The music is performed in a“hot rod” rockabilly style, high in energyand with plenty of instrumental solos.

The band played its first gig in Augustand from that time offers of gigs have come in from across the region.

Rupert said, “I think our sudden suc-cess is a combination of passion and tal-ent performing a timeless and classicstyle of music that’s been grossly under-represented in the area for far too long.”

Billy and the Neptunes will performfrom 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday at KarmaCoffee Co., located at 237 Seneca St. inOil City. There is a cover charge of $5 payable at the door.

Coming to Lakeview High School March 12 - 14 will be the school’s pro-duction of Disney’s “Newsies,” a Tony Award-winning Broadway success. The show is based on the historical newsboy strike of 1899 that shook the ivory towers of William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer.

It tells how a band of underdogs took on the most powerful names in New York in a fight for what is right.

Poor and orphaned teenagers, selling newspapers for one penny per paper, are pushed to the limit when newspaper moguls Hearst and Pulitzer try to take away more of their meager profits.

Jack Kelly, played by Devin McIntire, becomes the leader who rallies the Newsies from across the city to take a stand and strike against the most power-ful publishers in the country. Their cause becomes even bigger than any of the Newsies imagined when they realize that they are fighting for all the children working in unfair and unsafe conditions across the nation.

This show is directed and produced by Lakeview Middle-High School teachers Chylo Baun and Becki Williams. Alaina Stroud serves as the vocal director, Beth Lewis is the pit director and Becky DeGraaf is the show’s choreographer. Andrew Lattimer, a Lakeview High School senior, fills the role of student director.

A cast of 42 Lakeview students brings the show to life. A combination of famil-iar songs such as “Seize the Day,” “Carrying The Banner” and “The World Will Know,” along with memorable char-acters and choreographed dance num-bers, ensures a lively production.

“Newsies” will be performed at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, March 12 and 13, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, March 14. The cost of tickets is $10 for adults, $8 for students and senior citi-zens, and free for children under 5. Tickets will be available at the door one hour prior to each performance.

Lakeview High School is located at 2482 Mercer St., Stoneboro.

Billy and the Neptunes is composed of, from left, Billy Rupert on guitar, Dave Hepler on drums, Leroy Walters as vocalist, Eric Hess on upright bass, John Gruber on saxophone and John Keeley onpiano and organ. Hess, Hepler and Keeley also supply vocals.

Bret Sloan and Janelle Chambers-Sloan willbe among eight performers in “Best of Broadway” at the 7:30 p.m. show on March 6.

The Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts will present the Clarion Quartet in an inspirational program titled “Giving Voice to Genius” at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 1, at Lincoln Hall in Foxburg.

Featuring poignant and powerful music by Mendelssohn, Weinberg and Shostakovich, the concert will present the skillful genius of composers whose music has survived the ravaging and wasteful cultural destruction of war, prej-udice, suppression and hatred.

Longtime ARCA favorite, Pittsburgh Symphony violinist Jennifer Orchard

will be joined by three superlative PSO musicians – violinist Marta Krechkovsky, violist Tatjana Mead Chamis and cellist Bronwyn Banerdt.

The afternoon of world class chamber music in the intimacy and crystalline acoustics of Lincoln Hall will offer an inspiring concert to begin ARCA’s fif-teenth anniversary performance season, with an experience of the redemptive power of musical genius to transcend all boundaries and limitations.

Desiring to bring justice to creative voices that have been silenced, the Clarion Quartet is dedicated to providing renewal, hope, and healing through its music and work.

The quartet describes its mission as a clarion call, giving a voice to great com-posers who have endured the injustices of suppression and imposed silence. It restores to life music by composers whose works were once banned through political oppression.

After the concert there will be an opportunity to meet the artists at a cake and coffee reception at the back of Lincoln Hall.

The cost of tickets is $25 for adults, $20 for members and $5 for students. People may call (724) 659-3153 to reserve tickets, or buy them online at www.alleghenyriverstone.org.

Mystery, intrigue, European escapades and some physical promiscuity are the highlights of “The Baltimore Waltz,” which will be performed Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 27-29, at the Barrow-Civic Little Theatre in Franklin.

The 90-minute play by Paula Vogel is the contemporary story of a brother, Carl

(played by Nicholas Hess) and a sister, Anna (played by Hallie Palmer) as they navigate the dire consequences of a recent diagnosis from the World Health Organization. The two siblings and life-long friends share the stage in an epi-sodic dance that covers the gamut of human emotion.

When Ben Bodamer enters, as The Third Man, portraying a dozen different characters, the story unravels into an absurdist telling of love, what it means to be alive and the inevitable fear of loom-ing death. The three actors almost never leave the stage, even changing clothes in front of the audience as the show dances forward into the next scene, the next chapter, the next phase of life.

“The show packs a punch for the audi-ence – not only is it comedic, but there are these poignant moments that make you stop and pause and say ‘hey, I feel that way too…’” said Nicholas Hess, also the show’s director and producer.

The production is intended for mature audiences. It will begin at 7:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 27-29, and also at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 29. The cost of tickets is $12. They may be purchased online at www.barrowtheatre.com, by calling 437-3440, or at the door. Limited seating is available.

Community Playhouse, Inc., aims to inject color into the dreariness of winter with its Honky Tonk 2020 production, “Color My World With Song.”

The show is written and directed by the team of Deb Mitchell and Sherry Switzer, and produced by the CPI board of directors.

The performances are set for Friday and Saturday, Feb. 28-29, at the Moose Lodge No. 78, located at 541 Halyday Run Road in Oil City.

The show will start at 7:30 p.m. each evening, but theatre-goers who make advance reservations can opt to arrive earlier and enjoy a pre-show stuffed chicken breast dinner, which will be served from 6:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.

On Friday night only, a Lenten meal of vegetable lasagna can be chosen instead of chicken.

The cost of tickets for the show is $12. The cost for both the show and the

optional meal is $23. The box office will open at 5:30 p.m., at which time any unreserved show seats will be available for sale. No dinner tickets will be sold at the door.

Advance reservations may be made by calling 677-7469. People are request-ed to state their name and phone number clearly, to specify which show night they wish to attend, the number of tickets requested, and whether they are for the show only, or for the show and dinner.

Reservations will be confirmed by a return phone call.

Dinner reservations will not be accept-ed after Monday and show reservations after Wednesday,

“Color My World With Song” will remind longtime, loyal Honky Tonk attendees of the original Honky Tonk Show’s format, reminiscent of an “Ed Sullivan” style of presentation.

A variety of performances including solos, group numbers, comedy skits, dance routines and ensembles, will be interspersed with interesting introduc-tions and tantalizing tidbits prior to each performance.

True to the show’s title, a colorful chorus of chords and choreography will be heard and seen. Songs will range from “Green Acres” to “Blue Velvet,” from “Red River Valley” to the “Yellow Rose of Texas,” from “Bye Bye Blackbird” to “Orange Colored Sky,” from “The Coat of Many Colors” to “The Spectrum Song,” from “Colors of the Wind” to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

The cast of performers is composed of longtime favorites Gary and Joyce Dittman, Doug Kennedy, Tim and Ben Wren, Sherry Switzer, Deb Hardy, Joe Gerzina, Margo Huston, Jeannine Guth, Jeff Shotts, Dave Heath, Deb Letke, Deb Mitchell and Dan Kaylor, and several newcomers, Joe Carulli, Angela Riley Huffman, Amy Wimer, Jill Lander and Gina Knox.
