News Release North Platte Community Playhouse
The North Platte Community Playhouse’s “Canteen Cabaret” series, which debuted in December, features local performers in a socially distanced concert on the Fox Theatre stage to help lift spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Life” is the theme of April’s concert, which will be presented at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 17th, on the Playhouse’s Facebook page.
Selections for this month’s performance will include music from many of the theatre’s favorite musicals, and performers include those with a long history at the Fox Theatre; Kim Baxter, Mike Crom, Darrell Drullinger, Dick Hall, Brian Horst, Butch Lehmkuler, Dan O’Neill, Stuart Shepherd, Jim Shreck, Tim Vanderheiden, and Glenn VanVelson. The performance is being directed and piano played by Mary Lynn Horst and Karen Matthies.
The Playhouse will open the Patty Birge Room at 301 E. 5th St. from 5-6:30 p.m. on Saturday to sell drive-by concessions to enjoy at home during the performance.
Concession packages are:
$15 for two bottles of pop, two candy items, two bags of popcorn, and one pass to “Movies at the Fox” when they resume.
