Getting ready to burn down the house with “FIRE”
July 11, 2011
Hi everyone! My name is Kirsten LeBlanc, and I’m the new Box Office Assistant for the summer. I’m a student at Mt.A and will be returning there in the fall, where I’ll be studying music and biology. Feel free to give me a call here at the Live Bait Office if you have any questions and I will hopefully see you at some of our summer productions 
Here at Live Bait, we’ve finished up with our second run of A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline, heard some great music from Garnet Rogers and celebrated the arrival of summer with our 2nd Annual Solstice Dinner and Silent Auction.
Now we’re diving further into our 2011 summer season with the upcoming production of Paul Ledoux and David Young’s musical, FIRE. Inspired by the lives of Jerry Lee Lewis and Reverend Jimmy Swaggert, FIRE traces the rise and fall of Cale and Herchel Blackwell, the sons of a Southern preacher. It features lots of classic 50′s rock hits and gospel tunes that will keep your feet tapping. Here are a few rehearsal pictures to give you a sneak peak at the show:
The talented cast of this show includes Lewis Wynne-Jones as Cale Blackwell, Andrew Chandler as Herchel Blackwell and Ian Gilmore as their father, J.D. Blackwell, as well as several other characters. The cast is rounded out by Lise Cormier playing the boys’ love interest, Molly King, and Gordon White, playing her opportunistic father, Truman King.
The show starts this Thursday, July 14 and runs until Sunday, the 17th and again from the 19-24. Shows begin at 8 p.m., with the doors opening at 7:30 p.m, with the exception of Sunday nights. There are also matinées on the Saturdays and Sundays, starting at 2 p.m. with the doors opening at 1:30 p.m. Tickets for the evening shows are $27 regular and $24 for students and seniors and a general price of $12 for the matinées.
I’ve been lucky enough to sit in on a few rehearsals in the past week and believe me, it’s a show you don’t want to miss. Hope to see you there!
