For two shows only, local playwright Dorthy Segar Morgan and the Jameson Players is presenting a lively, goofy, musical comedy, “The Dog Lick Creek Drama Society’s Sketchy Auditions.” With 18 characters and 17 songs, at only $20 this is definitely a great way to spend a Saturday night.

Two performances on June 15^th at 7pm and June 22^nd at 7pm will be held at the Center for Spiritual Living 1756 Erringer Rd Ste 100 Simi Valley, CA. Though being shown at the center, this is not formally affiliated with CSL, it’s just another really cool event there, open to, and more than welcoming, the general public.

Tickets still available on Eventbrite so get yours now using this link.

Local playwright Dorothy Segar Morgan brings the tiny Kentucky town of Dog Lick Creek, Kentucky to life with a zany group of actors/singers playing townspeople vying for roles in the hamlet’s new 1902 historical “play-within-a play.”

A hilarious musical comedy ensues as the Dog Lick Creek Drama Society’s president, Maribelle May Jenkins, along with the Right Reverand Boyd Billy Bob Boone, Doctor Bernie Lipshitz, and Miss Edith Beauregard oversee the auditions for Sheriff Wyatt Campbell, Madam Jolene Joy of the Pink Petunia Brothel, and Mother Superior Gisela Hildegard Schmidt. Hog calling, a bluegrass hootnanny and a cast of other colorful characters make this an immersive and fun-filled adventure in small town Appalachia.

I had the pleasure of getting a sneak preview of the play via reading the script and seeing some of the actors in their dress rehearsal costumes. It’s going to be a fun show that will have you laughing and humming the songs after you leave.

With all the strife in real life, won’t it be nice to take a little break and immerse yourself in silliness for a couple of hours?
