"Greetings" Opens Winter Theater Season
KBC Productions opened the winter theater season at
Mahoney State Park with Tom Dudzick's touching Christmas
drama, "Greetings".
inside of Mahoney State Park.
"Greetings" is the story of a mentally handicapped man named Mickey. He lives
at home with his sweet Catholic mother and sour Catholic father. When older
brother, Andy brings home a Jewish fiancée to meet his family on Christmas Eve,
he fears the worst. However, that evening a small miracle occurs. Mickey, whose
entire vocabulary consists of "Oh boy," and "Wow," suddenly blurts out, "Greetings!"
the whole family is left to wonder how this is possible. It is a gentle heart-warming
story for the whole family.
The production is directed by Kevin Colbert of Weeping Water. Starring in the
production are Jim Knierim of Louisville, Stacy White and Shari Hoelker of Omaha
and Chuck Danskin of Lincoln. Reprising the role of Mickey for the third time is
Jim Frerichs of rural Dunbar.
Performances for "Greetings" are December 17-19 and 26-30.
Adult tickets are $8. Children are priced at $6.
Reservations can be made by calling Mahoney State Park at (402) 944-2523 ext. 7122.
Curtain times are at 7:30pm except for Dec 19 which is a 2pm Sunday matinee performance.
Mahoney State Park is located just off exit 426 on I-80 near the towns of Ashland and South Bend.
World Premiere in Manley, Nebraska!
The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley has brought a world premiere to the stage!
"Christmas at Leon's" tells the tale of a bus full of holiday travelers who get stranded
at a roadside diner during a blizzard. As we are introduced to the passengers, we discover that
each one has a flaw or personal drama affecting his or her life. Everyone is able to find shelter
and spiritual comfort at the diner owned by an odd little man named Leon.
The story and original musical score were both written by Mick Kovar of Lincoln. Mr. Kovar is a
long-time friend of the Lofte having served on its board of directors and starred in several of its
productions over the years. Lofte Artistic Director, Kevin Colbert is directing the show. Colbert
and Kovar are old friends and have enjoyed working with each other on "Leon's."
Starring in the title role as the curmudgeon, Leon is Larry Bauers of Louisville. His three angelic
waitresses are played by Renee Kovar of Lincoln, Lindsey Micks of Bellevue and Samantha Colbert
of Weeping Water. Other players in the show include Bob Pinkerton of Weeping Water; Jamion
Biesterfeld and Anne Riha of Louisville; Scott Pope of Eagle; Cynthia West Sheldon of Elmwood;
Adam, Mick and Meagan Kovar and Brittney Ernesti all of Lincoln; Tom Lucas of Papillion, Virginia
Howe Kincaid of Elkhorn and Jason France of Plattsmouth.
"Christmas at Leon's" will run December 16-19.
Showtimes are Thursday through
Saturday at 7:30pm. Sunday is a 2pm matinee.
Tickets are $16.
The box office is open Monday through Friday 8am-12pm.
Call (402)234-2553 or www.Lofte.com
The Lofte is also doing a fundraiser in coordination with this event. Ticket holders can come to the
Lofte 90 minutes prior to curtain to eat at Leon's Diner. A home-cooked meal of meatloaf or hot turkey
sandwiches will be served right on stage as the cast entertains and helps to serve the food. Tickets for
the meal are priced separately at $25/plate. $15 of the meal ticket is tax deductible. Advance
reservations for the Diner Experience are required.
The Lofte is located near the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 1 just east of the village of Manley.
Larry Bauers of Louisville is surrounded by his trio of angelic waitresses;
Lindsey Micks, Samantha Colbert and Renee Kovar.
