February 10-25 - Hickory Community Theatre
"BY A FLARED NOSTRIL"
"By a Flared Nostril" Molly Bass' antic comedy opens Friday February 10 as the effort of a small army of actors and technicians led by the team of the director/playwright Molly Bass and production stage manager Anne N. Elliott.
This is their 12th production together. The collaboration began with "Nostril" as a one act in the Firemen's Kitchen. As Bass expanded that play into a full length production, then going on to write others, Elliott stayed by her side.
"Angel Anne", as Molly Bass refers to Elliott, is the probably the most experienced stage manager at HCT, with "Nostril" marking her 40th production since 2000.
Bass, whose creative life dates from stories for Barbie dolls, said she "keeps things organized and focused. Things I am clueless about, like technical stuff, I leave to others."
For her part Elliot said "Working with Molly is a joy. I have fond memories of our sitting in a darkened theater, laughing to the point of tears as the actors bring her words to life."
"By a Flared Nostril" plays in the Jeffers Theatre. Show times are Fridays and Saturday, February 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 8pm; Thursdays, February 16 and 23 at 7:30pm; and Sundays, February 19 and 26 at 2:30pm. Tickets are $16 for adults, $14 for seniors and $7 for students or youth 18 & under. Thursday nights, all adult and senior seats are just $10! Purchase tickets online at www.hct.org or by phone at (828) 328-2283. The Theatre box office is open for walk-up sales from noon to 5pm, Tuesday through Friday.
HCT is a Funded Affiliate of the United Arts Council of Catawba County. "By a Flared Nostril" is produced by Carolina Anesthesia Associates and Paramount Volvo
