2012 Season Below
Four plays at the historic Red Door Theatre!
Four opportunities for fun & entertainment!
Four times to celebrate our heritage, culture, and future!
The Red Door Theatre presents its 2012 Season…
FOUR TIMES SOUTHERN!
Southern Comforts
BY KATHLEEN CLARK ~ FEBRUARY 16-19, 2012 "In a sprawling New Jersey Victorian, a taciturn
Yankee widower and a vivacious grandmother from Tennessee find what they least expected - a second
chance at love. Their funny, awkward, and enchanting romance is filled with sweet surprise and unpredictable tribulation." (Samuel French)
The Passing of Pearl
BY VAIN COLBY ~ APRIL 26-29, 2012
"A play about friendship, forgiveness, acceptance andlove, 'The Passing of Pearl' is set in a diner in Memphis in the 1980’s. It tells the story of a brash, outspoken, hilarious and wise waitress trying, along with her good friend and colleague Daphne, to pick up the pieces and carry on after the death of Pearl, the kindhearted old lady who owned the diner." (Bluefield Daily Telegraph)
Dearly Departed
BY DAVID BOTTRELL & JESSIE JONES ~ AUG 2-5, 2012
"Not since STEEL MAGNOLIAS has a more colorful and dysfunctional group of Southern eccentrics
gathered below the Mason-Dixon line. When the patriarch of the Turpin family keels over dead in the first scene, the struggle to get him buried involves the whole clan, including the not-so-grieving widow who wants to put 'Mean and Surly' on the tombstone." (DPS)
The Homecoming

EARL HAMNER, JR.’S NOVEL ~ NOV 29-DEC 2, 2012

The Year of "Alabama Food"
From the article "Alabama tourism chief: Food will key 2012 campaign to bring in visitors" by Michael Tomberlin in The Birmingham News:
This year, it was music. Next year, it will be food. Again. Lee Sentell, director of the Alabama Tourism Department, says the state's 2012 tourism campaign will be "The Year of Alabama Food." If that sounds familiar, it's because 2005 carried the same theme and each year since the campaigns have had a component of that in them. Sentell told the members of the Economic Development Association of Alabama at that organization's summer conference at the Perdido Beach Resort that food defines the state so much and its lists of "things you must eat before you die" resonate with tourists. Food won't be the only point of the state's 2012 tourism push, he said. Continuing efforts to bring tourists to the state's beaches will be a key component, as will be pushing events like the races at the Talladega Superspeedway and the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at the Barber Motorsports Park near Leeds. Of special significance this year will be the 20th anniversary of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, Sentell said. Tourism was a $9 billion industry in Alabama in 2010, a year where the Gulf of Mexico oil spill kept many tourists away from the beaches. Nearly 6.8 million visitors stopped at Alabama's "Welcome Centers" on its interstate connections in neighboring states. Tourism put $550 million in state and local tax coffers last year.
