Fayette-Coweta Family Theatre, Inc. will rock the stage of the Villages Amphitheater in Fayetteville this weekend when they bring the crowd pleasing production "The Nifty Fifties" to life. An original score full of fabulous 1950s music, nostalgia, fun characters, and, of course, Rock 'n' Roll will entertain audiences of all ages, as it takes folks back to a simpler place and time. FCFT is excited to be able to be to bring live theatre back to the beautiful Villages Amphitheater once again after their very successful production of "Joseph and the Amazing Dreamcoat" was presented there this past summer to record crowds and standing ovations.

"Petticoats and poodle skirts, duck tails and motorcycle jackets, saddle shoes and bobby sox, dungarees and a cool white tee-shirt" sings the cast of 33 during the opening number of the “Nifty Fifties.” The musical is set in Louise's Luncheonette, home of the best shakes, sodas and burgers in town. Gracie Stanley, played by FCFT 2003 Director's Award Winner Kimberly Crawley, plans to hold the big school dance in the luncheonette and have rock star sensation, Ziggy Springer (Curtis Legaspi), sing at the dance. The only problem is that snooty, Muffin Mansfield, played by Laura Musselman, is just waiting for Gracie to fall on her face when Ziggy doesn't show up. Mix in numerous 50s dance numbers and tunes and, of course, a romance or two and you have the makings of an evening of fun for everyone. Tickets at the gate are $12 general and $11 for children under 12 years and seniors 65 and up. Presale tickets are $10 at Peachtree City and Fayetteville libraries and by calling the theatre or via the FCFT Website. A limited number of front section tables that seat 8 are available for $100 each by calling the theatre. Everyone is encouraged to bring your favorite beverage and snacks to enjoy prior to and during the performance. Snacks, drinks and candy will also be sold at the Villages concession stand. Take advantage of the warm fall weather that Atlanta enjoys and come out to the amphitheater one last time before winter. Performances began last night and will continue through Sunday at 7:30 p.m. each evening, with gates opening at 6:30 p.m. For more information or to make a reservation please call FCFT at 770-251-7611 or visit online at www.fcft.net/HomePage.
