Sapulpa Community Theatre presents “Everybody Loves Opal” on April 9-11 and 16-18, 2010. Evening performances are at 8 p.m. and matinee performances are at 2 p.m. The theatre opens 30 minutes before show time. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children and students.
“Everyone Loves Opal” is about Opal Kronkie, a middle-age recluse lives in a decaying mansion at the edge of the municipal dump. The general chaos of her home is aggravated by the fact that Opal collects things – anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon. Opal is also an optimist, for no matter how mean her friends, Opal responds with kindness and faith in the goodness of human nature.
Into her rather strange world come three purveyors of bogus perfume on the lam from the cops. Opal’s menage is the perfect hideout, and she might be the remedy for their shattered finances. Attempted murder wouldn’t seem to be funny, but here it is uproarious. The unsavory trio try to drug her and set the house on fire, and a plan for a hit-and-run accident backfires. Through it all, Opal radiates kindness, affection and strangely enough, gratitude. But the real clincher comes at the end when …

According to a news release, the 1955 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama centers on the family dynamics of a Mississippi plantation tycoon known as Big Daddy. Brick, his ex-football son, along with his trophy wife, Maggie, have gathered with his brother’s family to celebrate Big Daddy’s 65th birthday. Unbeknownst to Big Daddy is that he is dying of cancer and what ensues is each couple’s attempt to discredit the other and to put themselves in the position to inherit Big Daddy’s enormous wealth.
Stefanic says in a news release, “One of the components ‘Cat of a Hot Tin Roof’ deals with, are the struggles of honesty among others and, more importantly, being honest with yourself. That’s a big challenge in today’s world. Our society is dominated both culturally and politically by people who excel in avoiding the truth; in spinning their message-and simple, courageous honesty is becoming lost in the battle. I think the story of people literally fighting their way though hypocrisy toward an honest account of who they are is quite timely.”
The Theatre Tulsa’s production consists of the following cast members: Jeremy Sheldon as Brick, Sara Wilemon as Maggie, Charles Whitson as Big Daddy, Karyn Maio as Big Mama, Kurt Harris as Gooper, Amy Lee as Mae, Robert Young as Reverend Tooker, Starr Hardgrove as Dr. Baugh, Margie Jenkins as Sookey, and Cole Jett as Lacey.
Theatre Tulsa is a proud member of the American Association of Community Theatre, Oklahoma Community Theatre Association, Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and a recipient of the 2009 Tulsa Award for Theatre Excellence for outstanding production.
Editor’s Note: The March 20 performance was canceled due to weather, and tickets will be honored at 8 p.m. Wed., March 24, 2010, at the Liddy Doenges Theatre, Tulsa Performing Arts Center in Tulsa, OK.
