Mom and Pop Frake (Susie Kocher and Mark Sawyer) have their hearts set on winning blue ribbons, while their children (Maggie Collins and Alex Poteat) have theirs set on finding romance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve gathered a magnificent cast of over 25 talented actors for this show,\u201d says Harvey. \u201cIt features new faces to TLT and several veteran TLT actors. You could say it\u2019s a star-studded show! It\u2019s warm-hearted family entertainment that Rodgers and Hammerstein are known for creating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TLT dates back to the 1890s and has been housed in various locations around town, under different names\u2014The Opera House, Tryon Dramatic Society, Drama Fortnightly\u2014before finally settling on its current name. Its black box theater workshop is located in a converted auto parts store on South Trade Street in Tryon, but for large musical productions TLT uses the Tryon Fine Arts Center\u2019s big stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe movie was made in 1945, and adapted for the stage in 1992,\u201d says McNeil. \u201cOne of the songs won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, and interestingly enough, some of the other songs for the stage version were either cut from\u2014or used in\u2014other Rodgers and Hammerstein shows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Tryon Fine Arts Center is located at 34 Melrose Avenue, Tryon. Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 3\u20134 and March 10\u201311, and 3 p.m. on Sundays, March 5 and 12. Tickets are $25 for adults and $12 for those under 18.
