‘Southern Hospitality’ opens Friday
Barefoot Productions is cookin' up a
mess of 'Southern fried laughs' as the
community theater group prepares for
Southern Hospitality, a comedy writ-
ten by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope
and Jamie Wooten. Southern
Hospitality will also be directed by
Mike Cuba who brought the writing
trio's The Hallelujah Girls to Barefoot
Productions last summer.
Southern Hospitality is a comedy
about Fayro, Texas, a town on its last
legs. The two major businesses have
closed and folks are leaving while the
leaving is good. The four Futrelle sis-
ters are not going to give up without a
fight, though. They hatch a scheme to
entice a salsa factory to relocate in
Fayro. To do this, they invent "Fayro
Days", complete with a petting zoo, a
beauty contest and a huge Civil War re-
enactment. Complicating matters is
the plight of the young interim pastor
who is likely to lose his home, car and
pulpit unless there is a miracle. A
reluctant groom, a midlife crisis and a
rich, devious old aunt add to the confu-
sion.
The cast includes: Christine Steves
(Woodhaven), Barbara Bloom (Novi),
Amanda Photenhauer (Ann Arbor),
Marion Busa (Canton), Lanna Collins
(Garden City), Griffin Burke
(Belleville), Gary Turnquist (Canton),
