[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all quotes and commentary from Donna Douglas are from an interview with her conducted by the author.]. Donna Douglas, who died of pancreative cancer at 82 in 2015, was an honest-to-goodness Southern Belle who displayed a natural beauty and talent in her portrayal of the hollering, rope-wearing, whistle-happy, and critter-cuddling Elly May Clampett on the 1960s classic TV hit, The Beverly Hillbillies.

Lifelong friends Andy Griffith and Don Knotts were quite a team on The Andy Griffith Show, which originally aired on CBS from 1960 to 1968. In 1965, Knotts left the series (to make big-screen movies), which later transitioned into Mayberry RFD, with Ken Berry taking over the lead from Griffith.

The Keegan Theatre is presenting NOISES OFF returns by audience demand, running through September 1, 2024. Called “the funniest farce ever written,” NOISES OFF presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called NOTHING’S ON. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Horizon Theatre continues its 40th season with the heartfelt comedy Wild With Happy, playing August 16 – September 15. This uproarious hit from Off-Broadway by Colman Domingo (Oscar nominated for Rustin) follows the adventures of Gil, a man on a mission to find the perfect resting place for his mother. When his vivacious mother passes, Gil returns home and decides to have her cremated – despite his raucous Aunt Glo's desire for a traditional funeral and burial. Then his flamboyant best friend takes him on an unexpected road trip with his mother's ashes, and a furious Aunt Glo follows in hot pursuit with the sensitive funeral director in tow. Both outrageously funny and immensely touching, Wild With Happy is a wild ride through love, loss and, just maybe, The Most Magical Place on Earth.
