Street’ opens

production of “Angel
Street” (Gaslight) opens
Thursday, Feb. 12. Show
dates are: Feb. 12, 13, 14,

Writtten by Patrick
Hamilton, “Angel Street”
was a Broadway hit first
produced in London under
the title "Gaslight" and
filmed twice. It tells the
story of the Manninghams
in the 19th century. It is
soon apparent that Mr.
Manningham, a suavely
sinister and handsome
man, is slowly torturing
his gentle, devoted wife,
Bella, into insanity under
the guise of kindness.
The secret of the dimming
gaslight and the mystery
of the hidden rubies will
captivate all.
Box office opens Feb. 9
and is open 4 to 6 p.m. on
the weekdays prior to
show dates and two hours
prior to 8 p.m. shows and
one hour prior to matinee.
Ticket prices: $12 adults,
$10 senior adults and $8
students. Backlot now

Mastercard.

Backlot to hold

‘Radio Gals’
The Backlot Players are
holding auditions at 7
p.m. Feb. 16 and 17 for
the upcoming musical
comedy production of
“Radio Gals” by Mike
Craver and Mark
Hardwick.
The cast will include one
man and four women. All
cast members must sing.

the Rose Theater.
Synopsis: In the 1920s
when radio ruled the air
waves and small stations
thrived, music teacher
Hazel C. Hunt received a
transmitter as a retire
ment gift and station
WGAL was born in Cedar
Rapids, Arkansas. A
wacky quintet of
singer/musicians gather
daily in her parlor to set
hearts thumping and toes
tapping with rib tickling
songs, homey chat and
plugs for a rejuvenating
tonic that owes its kick to
the still out back. Twenty-
one original songs per
formed with thematic
props produce the zany
hilarity you expect from
the creators of "Pump
Boys and Dinettes" and
"Smoke on the Mountain".
Show dates: April 23, 24,
25, 26, 30, May 1, 2,
