Runway Theatre presents DISASTER!

-
Disaster! is coming to Runway Theatre. 

Grapevine, TX – Runway Theatre will experience Disaster! this spring when the musical lands on stage March 24th through April 9th. 

Written by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick with additional material from Drew Geraci, Disaster! is a concept created by Seth Rudetsky and Drew Geraci. 

This hilariously campy homage to the era of the hustle features larger-than-life characters, snappy dialogue, and unforgettable songs of the '70s like "Knock on Wood," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Sky High," and “I Am Woman.” 

Disaster! is rated PG-13 and features an incredible cast and crew: 

Cast: Jordan Justice as Chad Briana Berk as Marianne Landry Beckley as Ted Hilary Evitt Allen as Jackie Tripp Jackson as Tony Kelly Norman as Shirley Doug Fowler as Maury Tomas Moquete as Scott Samantha Padilla as Sister Mary Jayden Russell as Levora Patrick Bilbow as Ben/Lisa Ensemble: Conor Clark Vanessa Crump Kat Dennis Audrey Ham Greg Kozakis Donovan Marie Lawson 

Crew: Director: Lon Barrera Music Director: Kristin Spires Choreographer: Christina Kudlicki Light Designer: Cat Luster Sound Designer: Mark Howard Set Designer: Emily-Ann Moriarty-Phillips Costume Designer: Logan Broker-Faught Puppet Designer: Gabrielle Grafrath Stage Manager: Hannah Hackley 

Runway Theatre performs Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Ticket prices for Disaster! are $27 for adults and $24 for seniors 60+ and students. Individual tickets will go on mid-February. To learn more, visit RunwayTheatre.com. 

About Disaster!: It's 1979 and the town’s hottest A-listers are on board to celebrate the opening of a floating casino slash discotheque, but boogie fever rapidly sinks as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters (just the usual: earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos). Don those bell bottoms for a parody party! Disaster! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com 

About Runway Theatre: The End of the Runway Players (ERP) was created in 1983 when a small group established a community theatre in Grapevine, Texas. They mounted their first full season in 1985 and became a nonprofit organization, establishing Runway Theatre in its first permanent home on Dooley Street. Eleven years later the theatre was destroyed in a tragic fire. With the community’s support, Runway rebuilt and has since produced hundreds of plays and musicals. Though dark for sixteen months during the COVID-19 pandemic, the theatre reopened in late summer of 2021 and remains dedicated to producing entertaining live theatre in a welcoming home.

Review for DRACULA THE MELODRAMA, Pocket Sandwich Theatre, Carrollton

  Dracula The Melodrama `     By: Joe Dickinson Produced by: Pocket Sandwich Theatre Hahahahahahahaha!  In short, that’s my delighted response to my recent evening with Dracula The Melodrama at the Pocket Sandwich Theatre .  FYI, this was my first time at the Pocket , and NOT just this brand spanking new location in historic downtown Carrollton but my very first time at any location, as I missed seeing a show before the Dallas location was closed for the relocation. Now, those of you in the know, those loyalists who are longtime, perhaps decades long, devotees of the “old” Pocket will, I am sure, love the “new” Pocket .  I have it on good authority, from others of your ilk, that the “new” is very much like the “old”, excepting some pesky columns and some somehow “bad” seats audience left in the “old”, which are sweetly missing from the “new”, at least in part thanks to an amazingly long beam that runs across the theater space.  But for those like me who would be new to the Pocket , s

Review for GHOST, Repertory Company Theatre

  Ghost Book and Lyrics By Bruce Joel Rubin Music and Lyrics By Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard Directed By: Debra Carter Produced By Repertory Company Theatre Finding real love, the kind that meets you in the depths of who you are, can be one of the most transformative experiences in a person’s life. So when that true love finally finds us, it can be hard to let it go. The ups and downs of love lived and lost is what Ghost takes us through, and that depth of feeling is what the brilliant actors at Repertory Company Theatre bring to life.  Throughout the musical we follow Sam Wheat , played by Garrett Holton , and Molly Jensen , played by Donna Knight through their love story. We get to feel what a love that transcends worlds feels like, and both Holton and Knight make sure we get to experience every emotion to its core. What was so perfect about these two actors is that they not only had their own star to shine, but beautifully complemented one another as well. There are moments wher

Every time I attend a production there, I feel right at home with everyone's hospitality and their performances are always top notch! And  Gypsy  is no exception to their commitment to greatness.

Extremely talented artists and performers, 3. A modern, chic and friendly environment with plenty of accessibility for every patron, 4. A live band with musical theatre productions, and 5. Every production is devoted to excellence!  Gypsy, A Musical Fable  is based on the memoir of "Rose Louise Hovik", aka Gypsy Rose Lee .
