Forty-five bucks for a season of theater with the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley as part of the tableau.
“We’re the best deal in town,” said Doug Roller, who has been involved with productions at Oak Grove Theater north of Staunton for 44 years.
The 2009 season, the 55th at Oak Grove, which was founded in 1954 by local theater stalwarts Fletcher and Margaret Collins, begins May 28-June 3 with a production of Neil Simon’s God’s Favorite. Also on the schedule for ‘09 is The Miss Firecracker Contest June 18-June 24, The Pajama Game July 9-July 15, Ordinary People July 30-Aug. 5, and Go Back for Murder Aug. 20-26.
The acting and staging is top-notch, and of course you’re not going to beat the backdrop.
“It’s great fun outdoors, except when it rains occasionally, and then we wonder why we do it. But when you get that occasional beautiful night, there’s nothing better,” Roller said.
