BALDWIN PLAYERS TO PERFORM MARCH 4 - 6

TIFTON--The Baldwin Players of Abraham Baldwin College will present two comedies on March 4 - 6 in Room 319 in Conger Hall on the ABAC campus.

Showtime is at 7:30 p.m. each night. General admission is $5. There is no charge for ABAC faculty, staff, and students. Tickets are available at the door beginning at 7 p.m. Latecomers cannot be seated.

Dr. John Galyean, ABAC’s Director of Theatre and the Baldwin Players, will direct “Reese and Babe,” a farce involving a housewife’s car accident with a chimpanzee from the circus. Babe, played by Sally Shaddix of Moultrie, thinks she hit a child on a foggy stretch of road, but she really careened into Larry the Wonder Chimp. She had the accident while driving the family’s mint condition ‘65 Mustang. And her husband, Reese, played by Mitch Tillman of Tifton, reacts a little too strongly and buries the car in the backyard. When Salty the Clown, played by Melissa Van Houten of Chula, and a police officer, played by A. J. Stovall of Forsyth, appear at the front door, the fun begins.

Student Chase Nickelson of Tifton will direct “Bake Off!,” a hilarious farce about a very bitter woman returning to a famous baking competition, only to find that there are more and more male participants. No one is safe from this madwoman, including the famous Pillsbury Doughboy himself.

Jessica Lee of Moultrie plays the embittered Rita. Local teacher and journalist Tom Mark plays her unsuspecting adversary, and Joe Hall of Tifton is the Doughboy.

For additional information, contact Galyean at (229) 386-3099.
