'Gilligan’s Island: The Musical' coming to the Nora Hagen Theatre this weekend
"Gilligan's Island: The Musical," based on the popular 1960s TV show comedy featuring seven shipwrecked castaways, will be presented May 13-15 at Glen Oaks Nora Hagen Theatre.
The show is presented by Sturgis Civic Players, in partnership with Glen Oaks Community College, in three performances, at 7:30 p.m. May 13-14 and 2 p.m. May 15.
The show is co-directed by Michele Kelley, of Sturgis, and Mary Sutter, of White Pigeon. The cast includes local performers.
Rehearsal and staging was well underway in March 2020, then the pandemic hit, Kelley said.
“We tried a second time last fall and had to cancel last minute due to a COVID spike, so we are thinking the third time will be a charm," Kelley said. "Although some of the character roles have changed over the course of the past two years, we are excited to bring you a great show with a highly seasoned cast as many of the performers have appeared in numerous musicals in the area over the years.”
General-admission tickets cost $12 each and may be reserved at Sturgisboxoffice.com or by calling the box office at Sturges-Young Center for the Arts, (269) 651-8541. Tickets also may be purchased at the door on the day of performance, based on availability.
