The Richmond Community Theatre is pleased to announce their 2006-2007
opening production of “DAMN YANKEES,” a musical by Richard Adler & Jerry
Ross, book by George Abbott & Douglass Wallop (and based on the novel by
Douglass Wallop "The Year The Yankees Lost The Pennant").
“Damn Yankees” is a long-time favorite for those who love musicals. This
modern retelling of the Faust legend is the story of a middle-aged fan of
the Washington Senators baseball club who sells his soul to the Devil to
enable the Senators to win the American League pennant.
Director, Don Bischoff (of Macomb), has put together a talented selection of
local seasoned actors, featuring Matthew Thorpe of Chesterfield (Joe Hardy),
Jason Applegate of Port Huron (Mr. Applegate), Danielle Caralis of Grosse
Pointe Shores (Lola), Alison Boggs of Oakland (Meg Boyd), Megan Breen of
Chesterfield (Gloria Thorpe), and Tom Woodman of Richmond (Welch).
Like the shows main character, Joe Boyd, Director Don Bischoff considers
himself a baseball fanatic. “My summer nights are filled with the sounds of
STRIKE THREE or YOU'RE OUT and of course PLAY BALL. I don't seem to make it
down to the ball park as much after having children, but when I do it a
special feeling to me. I have memory's of my late father and grandfather
taking me down to old Tiger Stadium for a Sunday double header. I miss the
voice of good old Ernie Harwell and his partner Paul Carey at my bedside as
I fall asleep. Baseball to me is yesterday, today, and tomorrow all rolled
into one, because I consider myself a true fan.”
This production will be held at the historical Richmond Center for the
Performing Arts located at 69619 Parker Street at Churchill Street, 4 blocks
North of 32 Mile Road in Richmond. Ticket prices are $17 each ($15
Students/Seniors) and can be ordered by calling (586) 727-9518. RCT accepts
