* * * SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE * * *

We believe that live theater is something that everyone should have a chance to experience - so dress rehearsal for each of our four main productions this year will be designated a 'Share and Share Alike Show'. You share your time and enjoyment, we share some entertainment, we all share with those who need some help by our Food Bank donations. A dress rehearsal is just like the "real" show. It's a final runthough to make the actors confident. What better way to do that than to have an audience to react to you? So this is a chance to see the show for free. Just donate non-perishable items for the Food Bank. Join us and come enjoy!

* * * A NEW THEATER … AT LAST * * *

Now that we have a permanent home, we encourage you come visit us often. We are located at 95 Philadelphia Lane, in Jasper, GA. Philadelphia Lane intersects Old Philadelphia Road just behind the Jasper WalMart that is on Highway 515. Go to our "Contact" page on the website for a map and come see us. Whether you come to see a show, participate in a camp, class or workshop, volunteer your time, or are looking for a place to hold YOUR event, remember: If it's entertaining, it's Tater Patch!

Cast selected for Laugh Out Loud

By Nan

There will be six plays presented during this evening of laughter. Five will be directed by directors-in-training Aaron Locatelli and Jan O’Kelley. Jan has a great deal of experience with backstage management, most recently with The Odd Couple, for which she was Stage Manager. Aaron has been in several productions — most recently Epic Proportions – and was Stage Manager for Proof in 2010.

They have chosen and cast five short and funny shows covering everything from a funny computer lesson from granddaughter to grandmother to an alien encounter in the park to a woman’s melt-down at a baking contest. They have held auditions and selected the cast for these five shows for your amusement.

The second act will be the comedy of dating-gone-wrong, Check Please. Nan Nawrocki has cast all the auditioners in the fourteen roles in this show. Two young people, a Guy and a Girl, run the gamut of “dates from hell” in the short vignettes that make up this one act comedy.

All the directors look forward to hearing you, our audience, Laugh Out Loud.
