Studio Roanoke

Directed by Cheryl Snodgrass

The city's most eligible sea captain, the deacon of the local church brothel, and your friendly neighborhood Klansman band together to save the town of Mud Hill from becoming just another slippery slope. Ripped from the headlines (of 1863)!

Wednesday, February 1st through Sunday, February 12th
Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8PM with a 2PM matinee on Sundays
Tickets are $15 in advance, $12 for students, seniors, and active military

Auditions for the upcoming show "Nobody Gets Paid" by Ellen Struve and directed by Charlie Boswell will be at Studio Roanoke on Monday, February 6th - possible call-backs on Tuesday February 7th.

About "Nobody Gets Paid"
Take a glimpse backstage, where musicians sing their songs in prose, using humor, candor and a fair amount of foul language. Whether the trial is quitting cigarettes, surviving a cruise ship gig or dealing with the day job, the characters tell us what makes the jazz life worth the struggle.

Performances run march 7-18 (Wednesday-Saturdays @8pm, Sundays @2pm)
