16 February ICC selects cast, crew for spring production set for Mar. 23, 24 February 16, 2023 By Thomas, Donna S. General 0 Itawamba Community College has selected the cast and crew for its spring production, Ripcord, which will be Mar. 23-24 at the W.O. Benjamin Fine Arts Center Auditorium at the Fulton Campus. Cast members are Ron Jenkins of Amory; Jaishun Gates of Calhoun City; Anna Beth Brown, James Cobb Thomas, both of Pontotoc; Morgan Miller of Red Bay, Ala.; Adam Harmon and Kyla Ratliff, both of Smithville. Those in the crew are Keira Vandiver (lighting technician) of Fulton; Ruth Allison White (publicity manager) of Guntown; Ariadna Manjujano, Aizlynn Herbert (backstage crew), both of Pontotoc; and Dylan Christian (sound technician) of Smithville. The stage manager is Krystyna Burenok, former Saltillo High School exchange student with theatre experience from the Ukraine, and director, Dr. Laurie McBride of Fulton, speech and theatre instructor. Pulitzer prize-winning author David Linsay-Abaire delivers a compelling play in Ripcord that provides a mix of drama and madcap comedy. “A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.” Two ticket options are available, dinner theatre ($25) or play only ($10). There is also a $5 play only option for individuals with a valid school I.D. Dinner theatre tickets are available for purchase at www.iccms.edu/tickets, and tickets for the show only may be purchased at the door beginning at 7 p.m. each night. For more information, email lsmcbride@iccms.edu or call (662) 862-8307.
