James Cupp Wins Top Prize of $500 in the Lovin’ Country Competition at the Showplace
“James is a gifted vocalist and his story and voice are an inspiration to us all,” says Lee Cox, Executive Director at Alton Little Theater.
The Four Poster
Following the country music extravaganza, ALT’s Artistic Director, Kevin Frakes, presents the charming love story, “The Four Poster,” from February 16th through February 25th. This delightful play, which inspired the musical “I Do, I Do!” and the movie “Same Time Next Year,” stars regional talents Carolyn Bergdolt and Alex Trepka.
Set between 1898 and 1925, “The Four Poster” brings to life a bygone era with vintage costumes, gaslights, and a host of antique props and decor. Kevin Frakes has even lent his woodworking talents to build the famous bed and other set pieces, adding an authentic touch to this enchanting production.
Individual tickets are available for $22, and this is a part of the mainstage season you certainly don’t want to miss. For those interested, interviews with Kevin Frakes can be arranged to learn more about this fascinating project.
Looking Ahead
And don’t forget, right around the corner, ALT will announce its fabulous 91st Season on March 1st. Advance Tickets go on sale during the March premiere of “Alabama Story”.
February might be short, but ALT is never short on delivering top-notch entertainment. Whether you’re a fan of country music, love stories, or both, ALT has something special in store for you this month. Come and join us for these wonderful productions and celebrate the art of performance in the heart of the Riverbend region!
