River City Repertory Theatre, Shreveport-Bossier’s only professional theatre company, will open its fourth season with the comedy Moonlight and Magnolias on November 11th at Riverview Theater in downtown Shreveport, says Patric McWilliams.

Moonlight will be directed by Patric McWilliams with Light Design by Tristan Decker, Sound Design by Kermit Poling and Set and Costume Design by McWilliams.
Performances are Nov 11, 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30 pm; Nov 15th at 3 pm.

I LOVED this show! Very funny but also a wondeful look at the art of movie-making. Thanks Rep for another top-notch show.
