Kessler announces new season

Here's what's on tap for Kessler's 23rd season:

BLAST! - Sept. 20-21
A mix of brass, percussion, and visual performers

Chicago - Oct. 25-26
The old favorite about jazz killers-turned celebrities

Oklahoma! - Nov. 29-30
Classic, wholesome fare set in wide open spaces

The Will Rogers Follies - Feb. 1-2
A musical re-telling of one of America's homespun legends

Throughly Modern Millie - March 21-22
The 1920s tale of a Midwestern girl who finds her way in the Big Apple

My must-sees for this season will be Chicago, Oklahoma!, and Throughly Modern Millie. Tickets are on sale now, and prices range from $15 (upper balcony) to $56 (orchestra). Call 601-981-1847 to order (with season tickets netting a 10% discount).

Also, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery will be showcasing Always . . . Patsy Cline July 24-August 21. Preview-priced tickets are a mere $15, and regular-priced tickets are $35. They did this show at New Stage, and I missed it. (Shame, too, because a girl I graduated high school with, Shelly Fairchild, played Patsy in it. She's getting to be quite the woman about town herself. She recently appeared on David Letterman's show.)
