While the blues revival of the late sixties heats up the Bay, two theatre productions appear on North Coast stages this weekend. At the Mad River Festival in Blue Lake, the Dell'Arte-born and Virginia-based company called Creatively Independent present a commedia-style original work, The Greatest Story Never Told, about two bums meeting up with the Christian Holy Family. It plays at the Carlo Theatre tonight (July 12) and tomorrow at 8PM, and again at 2PM and 8PM on Saturday. Silas Knight provides a holy night preview at the T-S, as does Wendy Butler in the E-R. There's a bit about it in my North Coast Journal column as well.
Also this weekend, Ferndale Rep opens Taking My Turn, a musical revue about and by seniors. It plays at the Rep on July 13 at 8 p.m., with matinees July 14 and 15 at 2 p.m., then goes on the road for a July 22 show at the Senior Resource Center in Eureka, and one on July 29 at the Garberville Theatre.
