'Lost Socks' opens April 25

Cast members for "Lost Socks"

The Cherokee Civic Theater will present the world premier of a new musical, "Lost Socks." The production is a contemporary musical drama, with song selections ranging from power ballad to rock and roll, telling a story of love, loss and redemption, all inside an inner city Laundromat.

Show dates are 7:30 p.m. April 25-26 and May 2-3 and 2 p.m. April 27 and May 4.

"Lost Socks" is written by local playwright, Minette Satterwhite Trent. Mrs. Trent has also written previous shows "Baloney on Red, White and Blue" and "Confederate Spaghetti."

"Lost Socks" is the tale of Ava, played by Rachel Joseph and El, played by Seth Lord and their whirlwind romance which they believe will see them through anything. But after a tragic loss, the lovers cannot cope with one another's grief, and the whirlwind spins them in opposite directions.

Finding their way back to themselves and to each other takes time and forgiveness. Supporting characters are Lisa, played by Castanya Breen and Chess, played by Tim Howell. A "Cast of Thousands" includes Kati Kilpatrick, Kevin Jones, Valerie Parker, Scarlett Henderson, Nancy Jacobs, Amy Mc- Calister, James Pinotti, Lori Dickey, Kevin Guinn, Doug Jones and Rex Burks.

Original cast soundtracks for "Lost Socks" will be available for sale in the lobby of the theater. Opening night audience members will be invited to join the cast for a pre-show "Launch Party" in the Theater's annex building.

With a brand new story, brand new music and lots of new faces to the stage, "Lost Socks" promises to be a fun frolic, a tearjerker and a lovely evening for patrons of the Cherokee Civic Theater, said Mrs. Trent
