Behind the Red Door in 2010
We are so excited about 2010! Our goal has
always been to offer quality, top-rate theatre in the warm, charming
setting of a lovely, small Southern town. We want our guests to
experience professional productions while relaxing in an atmosphere of
days gone by. This year at the Red Door Theatre, we are proud to
announce a season of outstanding productions that are all "Simply
Southern."
The RDT's 2010 season is
a celebration of our heritage, culture, and future. Each play being
produced is set in the South and was written by a Southern playwright.
On February 11-13, "Catfish Moon" tells of three middle-aged men trying
to recapture their boyhood friendship. On April 22-25, "Conecuh People"
is a true story of a young boy coming of age right here in Bullock
County. On August 5-7, in "The Widow’s Best Friend", the casserole
brigade begins when a prominent citizen of the fictitious town of
Persepolis, AL, dies and his widow retreats under the bed covers. The
season wraps up on December 2-4 with "Wise Women", a poignant Christmas
comedy about a single mom trying to guide her teenage daughter when two
young women boarders move in and disrupt her efforts.
Seated dinners or
sumptuous buffet receptions are offered in conjunction with each
production. We have bed and breakfast accommodations in local hunting
lodges, and larger cities with hotels are only 35 minutes away. Riding
tours to see the town's beautiful old homes and other historic sites
are available.
