 The Winston-Salem Journal reports The Houdini Show is coming to Winston-Salem this week. Michael Huie and Michael Kamtman wrote the compelling drama examining the life of Harry Houdini. Brooke Davis and James Dodding directed the show.
In 1924 Houdini played at Winston-Salem's beautiful Reynolds Auditorium and the show's debut marks a homecoming of sorts. Tom Foolery Productions has an impressive schedule this season and Michael Huie play seems a perfect fit.
The show runs Thursday through Saturday and at 2 p.m. next Sunday in the wonderfully appointed McChesney Scott Dunn Auditorium at SECCA at 750 Marguerite Drive in Winston-Salem. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7.50 for seniors and students, and are available at the door.
Mr. Huie's drama looks at Houdini's greatest secret: how a young immigrant made his way from obscurity and poverty to one of the most famous individuals in entertainment history. The show brings together magic, escape and strong storytelling,
Wake Forest University ("WFU") Assistant Professor Brook Davis combines with former WFU and North Carolina School of the Arts Instructor James Dodding to direct the highly anticipated production.
Mr. Huie stars along side veteran North Carolina Shakespeare Festival actor Michael Kamtman.
We understand the play is perfect for all ages. Check out the full schedule of great plays from Tom Foolery Productions at their website here: http://www.tomfoolerytheatre.com. - Provided by InsideMagic |
