There's a new crowd hanging around the MACA building these days. In recent weeks, gangsters have been observed working that part of town, and there's rumor of an illegal speakeasy operating in the Greenlee Theater.
The rumors are true! The Greenlee Theater is transformed into Fat Sam's Speakeasy several times a week as Foothills Community Theater rehearses its summer production, "Bugsy Malone Jr."
"Bugsy Malone Jr." is a youth musical boasting a cast of more than 40 local young people who will bring to life this gangster spoof made popular in the 1970's movie, "Bugsy Malone."
Two neighborhood "good fellas" battle to take over New York's lower east side while the 1920s night life "roars" in the lives of two gangs and a former boxer, Bugsy Malone. There's action, music, romance and lots of laughs in this showcase of McDowell County's best young talent.
Foothills Community Theater will present "Bugsy Malone Jr." at East McDowell Junior High on Aug. 14, 15 and 16. Reservations are available now by calling 659-PLAY. Tickets will be $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $6 for students.
