Clarion County Community Theater Presents: "Play On!"

Clarion County Community Theater presents: “Play On!” This is a hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theater during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter. Written by: Rick Abbott
Each show begins at 7pm on June 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.
Suitability: All Ages
Cautions: alcohol and sound of gun shots

Along with Raines on bass and lead vocals, the members of Missy Raines and Allegheny include Ben Garnett on guitar, Eli Gilbert on banjo, Ellie Hakanson on fiddle and Tristan Scroggins on mandolin.
Missy Raines is a trailblazer in bluegrass music. Throughout her storied career, Raines has garnered some of the biggest accolades in the music industry, including 14 International Bluegrass Music Association honors, with 10 being awarded for “Bass Player of the Year.”
Missy Raines’ 2018 release Royal Traveller was also nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Bluegrass Album” in 2020.
On her newest release Highlander, the bassist/ vocalist/songwriter returns to her bluegrass roots with a musical homage to the peaks and valleys of her native West Virginia.

That path has taken Raines on a long and adventurous musical journey which has been informed by the Southern Appalachian and Mid-Atlantic bluegrass of her youth. As a child and young teen, Raines soaked up the sounds of The Country Gentlemen, The Seldom Scene, The Johnson Mountain Boys, and the other neo-progressive groups that propelled bluegrass music forward in the 70s.

2025-05-02 07:00 - 21:00 | Peirce Planetarium, Greenville Ave, Clarion, PA, 16214
Join us for our very popular monthly shows in the Peirce Planetarium! During the shows, we will weave storytelling and science together to highlight the month’s brightest stars and planets. Shows will take place at both 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. on the first Thursdays of the months that we are in session. In addition, two more shows will take place the following night (Friday) at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The shows last roughly 50 minutes and are free and open to the general public. All are welcome. No tickets are required. However, since seating is limited, you may want to arrive 15 minutes early.
