Townsend theater group rehearsing for 'Sweet Caroline'
"Written and directed by Kathleen Marie Marsh and narrated by Marcia Wahoske, this side-splitting musical comedy stars Al Benson as Deacon, a ladies man turned preacher who lives at the Saloon as he tends his tiny flock and keeps his brother Whiskey Jack (Jon Marsh) in line," the theater group said in a press release. "Due to a train mishap, Deacon reconnects with Caroline Goodenough (Mary Benson), the girl he left behind. Determined not to lose his 'Sweet Caroline' again, Deacon proposes, but Caroline refuses since he has no church and cannot provide a proper home. In desperation, Deacon decides to head to the Klondike in search of gold. Equally desperate is Deacon's sister-in-law Cathouse Cate (Kathleen Marsh) who dares not let her husband Jack out from under Deacon's watchful gaze. Cate persuades the local business owners to sponsor a Church-a-Thon to raise money for a parsonage and a church."
An all-volunteer supporting cast: Shirley Ashbeck, Gary Baum, Jerry Bodoh, Judi Fellows, Bev Gerndt, Lee Gerndt, Don Franzen, Cindy Jonet, Bruce Karow, Marilyn Karow, Pat Lowery, Annette Neitzer, Bruce Resler, Cindy Resler, Kris Vandervest and Scott Wycherley, are eager to entertain the audience.
"These talented actors, singers, and musicians guarantee another memorable show as they come to their friend Deacon's aid," the press release states. "Sound like a great show you just have to see? Make plans to attend and be ready for two hours of frisky, frolicking fun. Proceeds go to the Holt & Balcom Logging Camp Museum in Lakewood."
Admission is $8, at the door only, and musical entertainment will start a half hour prior to each show. Beer, soda and snacks will be available.
