A heavenly barbershop quartet comes to life at The World Theatre! High school pals Sparky, Jinx, Smudge, and Francis, known as “The Plaids”, are just four nice young men who love singing harmony. They practice in their basements, perform at proms and department stores, and dream of success. When The Plaids are killed in a car accident on the way to their first big gig in1964, the young men linger in limbo, as unresolved as their final chord, until an astro-technical phenomena allows them to return to Earth, perform their final concert, and hopefully win a place in Heaven. Will they find the perfect chord and the deluxe plaid dinner jackets of their dreams? Forever Plaid is a delightful, mischievous, and unashamedly heartwarming homage to the sweet and innocent sounds of the ‘50s and the ‘60s, and features classic barbershop versions of popular hits such as “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “16 Tons,” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing”.

Pretty Fire
The World Theatre • Kearney, Nebraska
February 2021
Is there anything pretty about fire? Certainly not when it is a giant cross burning near your grandmother’s house in the Deep South. But to a 10-year-old girl, raised in upstate New York, and who had never seen such a ritual, it was part of an awakening. In Pretty Fire, playwright Charlayne Woodard’s very personal memoir relates this and another episode of bigotry, but her autobiographical play is more a celebration of life than a complaint about its hardships. Told through a child’s eyes, the play follows Charlayne as she encounters dozens of family members and friends, growing up in the ’50s and ’60s. Filled with earthy humor, it takes readers on a universal journey through a world in which the family bond is as strong as steel.
