Fulton Community Theatre Announces 2018 Season

FULTON – Fulton Community Theatre is proud to announce its 28th season with a lineup of sure to please shows for the 2018 season.

FCT has entered into a new relationship with the Fulton Polish Home and will be performing many of its shows in this wonderful new venue.

FCT will startioff this season with a dinner theatre offering. Michael Bolio will be directing a classic comedy penned by Larry Shue.

“The Nerd” tells the story of Willum Cubbert, and architect from Terre Haute, Indiana, whose Lady love is about to leave and take on a new Job.

Although urged to join her by his Friend Axel, Willum is reluctant to leave the comfy confines of home. Then a stranger from Willum’s past arrives, and gives him a new problem to figure out. What will he do?

Find out February 17, 18, 24 and 25 at The Polish Home.

Coming up in April will be the delightful Musical “Swingtime Canteen,” directed by Dana Jane Thomas.

This show will also be performed at The Polish Home as a Dinner Theatre.

It’s London, 1944.

Join MGM star Marian Ames and her all-girl band from the Hollywood Canteen for the rip-roaringest canteen show of them all.

After 17 years with MGM, still-glamorous movie legend Marian Ames has endured four flop films in a row and is being put out to pasture.

But not until she heads to London with her all-girl band to perform for our troops.

This show is sure to be a good time for everyone when it opens on April 27, with shows on the 28th and 29th as well as May 4, 5 and 6.

June brings FCT back to the Fulton Ed Center with a production of “Arsenic and Old Lace.”

A timeless classic that has filled theater’s with laughter many times over the years.

Writer and notorious marriage detractor Mortimer Brewster falls for girl-next-door Elaine Harper and they tie the knot on Halloween.

When the newlyweds return to their respective family homes to deliver the news, Brewster finds a corpse hidden in a window seat.

With his eccentric aunts, disturbed uncle and homicidal brother, he starts to realize that his family is even crazier than he thought.

Under the guidance of first-time Director Kevin Colvin, we are sure you will be entertained.

Performances will be June 23, 24, 29 and 30.

Who doesn’t love a little Christmas in July?

Well FCT is answering that call by presenting “Scrooge in Rouge” on July 27 and 28 at The Polish Home.

The play is set in a raggedy theatre in England where the 20-member cast of “A Christmas Carol” has fallen victim to food poisoning the night before their performance.

But as we all know “the show must go on” so the three remaining cast members unaffected by illness work hard to deliver a stellar show.

All the joy of the Holiday Season in the Middle of July.

In October we will once again team up with our high school drama club, Quirk’s Players, to present a little something scary just in time for Halloween.

Although the scripts haven’t been decided on at this time, we can assure that it will be a “scream!”

November, once again, brings around another of our long-time favorites as we bring you “An Evening on Broadway!”

The theme of this season’s presentation is “Drawn to Broadway” as we present music from all the shows on Broadway inspired by either a comic strip or animation.

Certainly you will hear songs from “Lil’ Abner,” “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” as well as a couple Disney favorites that made their way from movie theaters to The Great White way.

Our final Offering next year ends on a somber note, as we present “The Women of Lockerbie” at the Fulton Ed Center on December 7, 8, 14 and 15 which tells the tale of a mother from New Jersey roams the hills of Lockerbie Scotland, looking for her son’s remains that were lost in the crash of Pan Am 103.

She meets the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting the U.S. government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane’s wreckage.

This show is being presented in honor of those who lost their lives in that tragedy.

We look forward to seeing each and every one of you at one or more of our upcoming shows.
