Thursday, August 4th, 2016 | Uncategorized | No Comments
The Tellico Community Players will perform the comedy Rex’s Exes Thursday through Saturday, August 11-13 and 18-20, with a matinee on Sunday, August 21, at the Tellico Community Playhouse, Patricia Smith Theater, located at 304 Lakeside Plaza in Tellico Village. The play is a sequel to last year’s hilarious Red Velvet Cake War. Reserved seats at $21 are available online at www.tellicocommunityplayhouse.com or from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily at the playhouse box office.
Rex’s Exes features nine female and three male actors, many of whom appeared in Red Velvet Cake War: Lisa Dawn Maleske as Cee Cee Windham, Betty Ann Sterner as Gaynelle Verdeen, Marge Sweeney as Jimmie Wyvette Verdeen, Jodi Moody as Peaches Verdeen Belrose, Joan Taylor as LaMerle Verdeen Minshaw, Doug Bannister as Aubrey Verdeen, Jean Mallett as Bitsy Hargis, Joel Bonnan as Theodore Rex Belrose, Sharon Lee as Gentle Harmony, Jean Reich as Mama Doll Hargis, Joy Macklem as Marlissa Crutchfield, and Jack Spiceland as Wild Bill Boudreaux.
Billed as a “southern-fried farce,” the play finds the Verdeen cousins on the brink of disaster again! What can go wrong with an unwanted surprise birthday party, a sudden death in the family, and the return of a dead husband? With the Verdeens, anything can happen! New friends and family members appear to help the cousins in their new predicaments.
Current Players’ President, Steve Mayberry, is directing, and the producer is Ted Taylor. Sponsors for the play are Hatley’s Heat & Air in Madisonville and Rarity Bay Country Club.
