StageWest Community Theatre had an interesting weekend of performances.
First, the group’s current production of “The Charitable Sisterhood of the Second Trinity Victory Church” competed with Eastern Washington University’s Homecoming weekend, so consequently, Friday and Saturday night audiences were a little slim.
On Sunday the audience got to see live theater in complete action as the stage lights went out during the first act and the cast and crew improvised to finish the act. Technicians could not fix the problem during intermission, so again the cast improvised and went on with the second half.
According to StageWest’s publicity director, Nancy Kuonen, the audience was “very supportive and remarks made at the end of the play were encouraging.”
There are only two performances left for the play, this Friday night, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. and Saturday’s special dinner theatre at 6 p.m. The dinner is catered by Mike Hartman and by reservations only, with reservations needing to be made by Oct. 14.
Tickets Friday night are adults $12, seniors $10 and students with valid school ID $5. Dinner theatre is $30 per person. For reservations contact Kuonen at (509) 768-4792 and for more information contact Tom Crick at (509) 280-6318.
