In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:
Umpqua Actor’s Community Theatre is bringing the baseball field to the theatre.
Rounding Third is a comedy involving two Little League coaches, who have conflicting views on how to coach their kids and form an uneasy alliance for the benefit of the team. A season of victories and defeats forces the two men to battle over how to lead the team.
During the show, the audience becomes the team as the coach speaks directly to them about competition, character, punctuality and the importance of wearing the right equipment.
The two-person baseball comedy stars powerhouse performers Bob Moreland and Brian Prawitz. It will be on stage February 6th through February 23rd, playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $17 and can be purchased at www.uact-theatre.com or by calling UACT at 673-2125.
The production is recommended for audiences ages 13 and older due to mile language.
For people who would like to see the show for free, UACT is welcoming ushers to assist with checking tickets, handing out programs, and greeting patrons before the show. All spaces are filled on a first come first serve basis. Ushers helping with a nighttime show should arrive to help at 5:45 p.m. Those ushering on a Sunday should arrive at the theatre at 12:45 p.m. Sign up to usher by calling UACT at 673-2125.
