Colonnade Newsletter February 2011 Father of the Bride 2 6 4 C A T O O S A C I R C L E R I N G G O L D, G A 3 0 7 3 6 Colonnade Newsletter Father of the Bride will be presented by Stageworks Entertainment and under the direction of Hollie Baranick February 18, 19, 25, and 26 at with a matinee February 26 at 1:00 p.m. The humor begins when Mr. Banks learns that one of the young men he has seen around the house on occasion will soon become his son-in-law. Daughter Kay announces the engagement out of nowhere. Mrs. Banks and the rest of the family are happy, but Mr. Banks is in a dither. The groom-to-be appears on the scene and Mr. Banks realizes that the engagement is serious. The groom and Kay don't want a "big" wedding--just a simple affair with a few friends! We soon learn, however, that the "few" friends idea is out. Then trouble really begins. The guest list grows larger each day; a caterer is called in; florists, furniture movers and dressmakers take over; and the Banks household is soon caught in turmoil--not to mention growing debt. When Kay, in a fit of temper, calls off the wedding, everyone's patience snaps. All is set right, however, and the wedding (despite more last-minute crises) comes off beautifully. In the end, the father of the bride is a happy, proud man, glad that the wedding is over, but knowing too that it was worth all the money and aggravation to start his daughter off so handsomely on the road to married life. You and your family are sure to enjoy this delightfully funny and entertaining play. Be sure to get your tickets now. Ticket prices are $11 for Adults, $9 for Seniors (55 and older), $9 for Students (age 2 through college), and $8 for groups of 15 or more. Run time is approximately.

The play is set mainly in the little town of River City, Iowa and opens with dialogue between traveling salesmen on a train discussing the selling powers of one Harold Hill. Unknown to them, Harold Hill is also one of the passengers on the train. When Harold Hill gets off at River City, he is met by one of the town s old cronies who tells him he will not be able to run his racket in this town. His racket is to go from town to town and influence its citizens to start a boys band, then to run away with the money the townspeople give him for the purchase of TRAIN COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION Dixie Division Chattanooga Area Train Show Saturday, February 26, 2011 At The Colonnade 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Admission: $7 (spouses and children free) instruments and uniforms. Undaunted, Harold proceeds to arouse the town s enthusiasm for his scheme by pointing out the corrupt influence of the local pool parlor on their children.
