Tickets to this Good Company show are going fast. Here’s why the play is so popular
Ticket to see Good Company Player’s staging of “Calamity Jane” have been selling well. The play, which features guest star Louise Mandrell in the title role, opened last weekend and already multiple dates are sold out online, including for most of this weekend.
You can still call the box office to check for seating.
Mandrell, a well-known country star in the 1970s and ’80s, is reprising the role she first played with Good Company Players in 2012. At the time, Fresno Bee arts critic Donald Munro listed it as one of the top-20 cultural events for the year. Mandrell’s performances was “a rollicking, boisterous and warm-hearted career theater debut,” he wrote.
Many of that 2012 cast are also returning for this run, which still has plenty of viewing opportunities left. “Calamity Jane” runs through Sept. 15.
Details: 5 p.m. Sunday and 5:30 p.m. Aug. 1 and through Sept. 15. Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theatre, 1226 N. Wishon Ave. $33-$59. 559-266-9494, rogerrockas.com
