"Return to Calamity Gulch" Announced

Ma(Shelia Davis) and Pa(Ed Bachtel) Culpepper open the doors to the Last Chance Inn(Knight of Columbus Hall-Salisbury) on February 28th at 7pm and March 1st at 2pm.  Horrace Prickley(Mark Mahnken) plots to woo and wed the woeful Widder Black(Shari Barron) and take control of her fortune.  Unfortunately for Horrace, it seems that he may have to share the money with Widder's nephew, Peter Loveless(Mark Hatfield).  That is...if the young man finds a bride before the week is over. 
Enter two lovely prospects.  Well one lovely prospect, Pansy Perriwinkle(Samantha Rustemeyer), and her outrageously mean sister, Violet(Sara Rustemeyer).  When Peper falls for Pancy, both Horace and Violet scheme to keep them apart.  Cue brides, outlaws, and Calamity Crème pies.

I'm Getting Murdered in the Morning

If the title didn't catch your attention, maybe these other fine details will:

March 1st or March 2nd see the first productions of the Community Art Players.  We invite you to the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall for a meal and to celebrate a wedding.  A wedding of someone you may or may not know.  A dinner and show titled, "I'm Getting Murdered in the Morning," by Lee Mueller.

Someone in the community of Salisbury.  With intricate roles intertwined, we are calling for open auditions.  Monday, January 6th.  From 6-8pm at the Peace Lutheran Church in Salisbury.  Prepare a two minute comedic monologue and be a part of all the fun. 

Reasons to audition or participate.

1.  Celebrate Salisbury.  Be a part of a community program looking to bring together the Salisbury community on a different level than any others.

2. Celebrate Theatre.  Bring back or find your love for theatre.  Bring out your hidden personalities and talents.

3. Celebrate Variety.  There are many different roles.  Ranging from main roles to roles that require little to no memorization.  Find what suits you best.

3. Celebrate Time.  Practices will only be once a week.  That is not a type-o.  They are really only once a week until the week of the show.

4. Celebrate You.  Be a star.  Surprise others with your role and talent.  Be a part of a group that wants to not only buckle down and entertain the community, but also have fun while doing it.

5. Just celebrate.   The entertainers and the entertained will all be a part of something that has been missing in our community for quite some time.  We are all excited to have this opportunity to celebrate community theatre in Salisbury.

If auditioning for a role isn't something that you feel comfortable doing just yet, but still want to help.  We will also have a meeting Tuesday, January 14th at 7pm at the Peace Lutheran Church in Salisbury.  You are welcome to attend.  With questions about auditions or Community Art Players involvement email communityartplayers@gmail.com.

See you soon.

CAPs Double

Either the first blog post took off like a wildfire, or the Salisbury community has a deeper love for theatre than many may have thought.  This last Community Art Players meeting doubled in number of people interested to participate.  We can only hope that this pace continues.  Seeing so many determined faces around the table, was almost as enjoyable as the Thanksgiving dinner we were all getting ready to eat the next week.

With budgets and involvement being key for our first few meetings, these seemed to be the topics of discussion.  What can really captivate the audience?  What type of show?  Should there be dinner included?  How can all of this fit in our very small budget?

Decided - We would have a production in early 2014.  The production would most likely take place at the new First Baptist Church of Salisbury's Fellowship Hall.  There will be at least two performances and dinner will be served for at least one performance.  The type of show will be a mystery...Perhaps.

A very important step for decisions to continue to be made is figuring out: who is interested in acting?  Do we have more than the five people that raised their hands at the meeting seeking to audition?  How many CAPs will our show need?

If you are interested in acting or learning more about the next stages(not literally) for the Community Art Players, feel free to attend the next meeting at Peace Lutheran Church on Tuesday, December 17th at 7pm. Or email communityartplayers@gmail.com.  Looking forward to seeing you there.
