DAYTON - From Beach Blanket Bingo to the Summer of Love, the decade all of us old folks can't forget will come to life again next weekend in TVAC Production's Spring Variety Show. "The Groovy 60s" will be presented March 21-23 at the Liberty Theater in Dayton.
The show will feature music, dance and skits from movies, TV shows and all those hit singles we can't get enough of. "I'm surprised how much the younger cast members have connected to these songs," said Variety Show Director Bev Startin.
Startin said that the show will feature 26 songs presented by a cast of 50 performers. Ages range from 4 to 87, with about half kids and half adults.
Startin is a veteran director of Spring Variety Shows. For this one, she has brought together a stellar group of choreographers, including Patti Jo Amerein, Shari DePaulo, Julia Mead, Cindy Philbrook, Kris Takemura and herself.
Performances are at 7 p.m. Friday, March 21 & Saturday, March 22, and at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 23. Tickets are $10-$15 and can be purchased at the Liberty Theater box office and online at www.libertytheater.org. Box office hours are from 2-5pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. Contact the theater for more information by phone at (509) 382-1380 or email at info@libertytheater.org.
