Stage Company Update
Been awhile since I've received one of these.. Looks like the box office opens tomorrow with the first play going on the weekend of the 24th:
The Stage Company—along with partner Carbondale Community Arts—has been hard at work all spring and summer renovating parts of the VCA into a venue for both the performing arts and visual arts. While the VCA project is just now concluding phase two of a four-phase, multi-year development, we are ready to begin sharing the facility with Southern Illinois.
The first Stage Company show is Neil Simon’s politically-themed classic comedy Star Spangled Girl, directed by Mary Boyle, running for two weekends: October 24, 25, 26 and October 31, November 1 and 2, 2008. Tickets go on sale October 10. Admission is $15 per person, and all seats are reserved. Tickets for the whole four-show season are also available for $55.
The box office will be open in the VCA lobby two weeks before each Stage Company show. Box office hours will be 5:00-7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, noon to 4:00 p.m. Saturdays, and one hour before each show. Tickets for Stage Company shows can also be reserved by calling 618-549-5466. Friday and Saturday evening performances are at 7:30 pm. Sunday matinee performances are at 2 pm.

Other highlights from the 2008-2009 Stage Company season:
- The second annual Holiday Home Tours will be held Saturday and Sunday, the 6th and 7th of December, featuring all different homes and new locations, as well as a silent auction for 15 unique tabletop Christmas trees. Ticket prices are the same as last year ($20 for Saturday, $50 for Sunday’s tour and reception, or a combined ticket for both days for $65). The proceeds will benefit the Stage Company. For tickets for the Holiday Home Tours only, call 618-516-4520.
- Continuing the holiday cheer, the second show of the season is Daniel Sullivan’s comic Inspecting Carol, the story of a struggling theater company (ahem) having yet another run at old Charles Dickens. Slapstick results. The show runs two weekends: December 12, 13, 14 and December 19, 20 and 21, 2008. Tickets for this show go on sale November 28.
- In February, it’s Ken Ludwig’s latest hilarious farce, Leading Ladies. February 20, 21, 22 and February 27, 28 and March 1, 2009. Tickets go on sale February 6.
- Noel Coward’s timeless and witty Blithe Spirit comes to town April 24, 25, 26 and May 1, 2 and 3, 2009. Tickets go on sale April 10.
- This summer, look for the upcoming SNOOPY! The Musical! A rollicking show for the whole family.
