Jasper County- This morning (11/21/2024) at 11:35, Troopers responded to a multi-vehicle crash on I-65 northbound at the 228.3 mile-marker. 

Pure entertainment from the beginning to end; “Dames at Sea” combines excellently choreographed and performed tap dancing with at times hints of ballet, beautiful singing, all accented with humor. Even if you think you are not a fan of tap dancing, you will not be able to resist joining numerous spontaneous applauds. The story is based on the World War two era. How things have changed will bring a smile to your face.

So, I went to the preview (dress rehearsal) before opening night. The main character lead Melody Rowland, who plays Ruby, was sick and her understudy Maya Paletta filled in. She was terrific…high energy, good dancer and very likeable. The storyline of “Dames at Sea” has the same scenario. Narcissistic Mona, played unsympathetically, but very well, by Clara Jarvis, the star of this 1930’s style musical, gets sick. Ruby (Maya Paletta) must step in to save the day. Life does imitate art, after all. I am told that Melody is also quite amazing.

**** Highly Recommended  If you have a small princess in your family – daughter, niece, granddaughter – you should consider getting tickets to the Paramount Theatre’s production of "Frozen."  This musical has everything you’d expect - fabulous voices, great choreography, lifelike puppets, gorgeous costumes, phenomenal sets and special effects. As each character/costume appeared for the first time, everyone in the audience cheered! It’s always a pleasure to see lots of young people – in this case, very young people – in the audience – they will become the next generation of theater-goers.  4 BIG Spotlights
