Community membersr are invited to attend a free Stage Tour presentation that night at 6pm, in Brenau University’s Hosch Theatre (429 Academy St., Gainesville). Farley be joined that evening by GTA scenic designer Larry Cook and GTA Costume Designer Sara Olson to discuss their ideas and research in bringing the classic Steinbeck story to the stage next month. The Grapes of Wrath opens on February 14 and runs through the 21^st. There is a discounted preview performance on February 13.

Singin’ In the Rain presented LIVE by Gainesville Theatre Alliance

Lake Lanier CVB — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 14:00:00 +0000

Considered by many to be the gold standard in Hollywood musicals, this American screen gem comes to the GTA stage with all the charm, laughs and brilliant dance numbers that made it an MGM classic in 1952.

Singin’ in the Rain’ pokes delightful fun at the panic in Hollywood as silent screen stars try to make the transition to “talkies,” and two musical buddies work to jam up the powerful studio publicity machine to shine the spotlight on a talented starlet.

Patrons will once again LOVE this rhythmic splash in the puddle.
