2012 Summer Musical

City Park Players is pleased to present the 2012 season summer musical Forever Plaid. Written by Stuart Ross, with musical arrangements by James Raitt, this deliciously goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in 1964 on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was.  


Directed by Tina Smith, the cast features Ty Cedars, Shannon McManus, Cade Cascio, and Aaron McConnell.   Songs in the show include "3 Coins in the Fountain"  "Cry"  "16 Tons"  "Moments to Remember" " Scotland the Brave"  "Lady of Spain" "Shan Gri La" "Love is a Many Splendored Thing"  and "Catch a Falling Star" as well as many other that you will fondly remember.  Performances will begin on July 5 and continue through July 15, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and on Sundays at 2:30 in the afternoon. 


The Hearn Stage, located at 1102 3rd Street - Corner of Johnston in Alexandria is the venue.  


Tickets are available in advance online at cityparkplayers.TicketLeap.com  and in the lobby before each performance beginning an hour before the presentation.  


Reservations are encouraged by email –

City Park Players Announces Cast - On Golden Pond

Alexandria, May 7, 2008—Director Frith Harwood announced the cast for City Park Players’ production of Ernest Thompson’s On Golden Pond. The production is the third offering of the theatre’s 2008 60th Anniversary Season and opens June 12.

On Golden Pond is the warmhearted story of grumpy, retired New England professor Norman Thayer, Jr., and his spirited wife, Ethel, spending one final summer at their lakeside cottage in Maine. Generations collide and sparks fly when the Thayer’s middle-age daughter and her fiancé leave his teenage son with the Thayers, while they embark on a European vacation. Kathryn Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Jane Fonda starred in the beloved 1981 film based on this triumph of life, love, and family.

On Golden Pond plays June 12–22, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m., at the Bringhurst Park Theatre, 1802 Sylvester Street, Alexandria, Louisiana.
