Trey Jackson, AnnaMaria Sparke-Keele, Haley Young and Andre Pitre dance and extol ship-borne travel in Anything Goes; opens July 14, PAC, Shreveport
Anthing Goes is the sort of romantic ship-bound frippery that is designed to soothe the ills of summer strife in Shreveport-Bossier. For one night you stroll the deck of a New York to London steamer and eavesdrop upon the lives of Reno Sweeney (AnnaMaria Sparke-Keele), Billy Crocker (Andre’ Pitre) and Hope Harcourt (Haley Young). There is a suspect guy, too: Rev. Dr. Moon (Trey Jackson). So you are cautious. But you are in good hands, since this ship is being directed by Richard Folmer, a gold standard commodore.
Do you know why “I Get a Kick Out of You”? Will you be with us “All Through the Night”? Are you sure that “Anything Goes”? And what do mean, exactly, when you command, “Blow Gabriel, Blow”? These are the questions that will be answered by handsome and fit men such as Pitre and Jackson. The answer will perhaps be equivocal from the leggy and buxom women, Ms. Sparke-Keele and Ms. Young. Based on talent, experience and comeliness, I think you will find this gang seated at the Captain's Table.
Play dates at The Performing Arts Center, First United Methodist Church, are July 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22 at 7:30 pm, with a July 16 and 23 matinee at 2:30 pm.
Tickets: $16 for adults and $8 for students (with ID).
Box Office opens at 12 Noon on June 28th and is open Noon to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Reservations: 429-6885.
Running time: about 2 hours.

I look forward to this show. Anna Maria is a treasure in this town. She acts, she sings, she dances and she is beautiful on stage. Trey Jackson is one of our comedic gems as well.
As part of this show and a local actor for about 10 years, I can tell you that this is one of the most fun, together, and vibrant productions I've ever been in. I think it really says something if an actor in the show is constantly and newly entertained by his/her fellow actors and not too used to it to care anymore. My fellow actors and actresses are proud to be in this show and were extremely pleased with opening night's positive and pleasantly raucous reactions. Hope to see you all there!
Great Show!!! Anna Maria was great as I knew she would be. Trey is getting better and better. Terrific job Trey. A couple of standouts were Reagan Folmer and Shaun Dion. Great costumes, set and direction. Bravo PAC.
