Pewter Plough to Present OVER AND UNDER THE RAINBOW WITH HAROLD (WHO?) ARLEN: A Musical Reality Play
The Pewter Plough Playhouse will present Over and Under The Rainbow With Harold (Who?) Arlen: A Musical Reality Play, our annual musical tribute to a great American Songwriter, written and directed by Jim Buckley. David Manion is Music Director. The show will open on Saturday, November 17, with our traditional Champagne Opening Gala and continue through December 31. In addition to Buckley and Manion, the show stars Wayne Attoe, Laurelle Barnett, Jim Conroy, Viv Goff, and Kathryn Taylor.
Harold Arlen was one of the most popular songwriters of the 1930's and 40's. Although he is not as well-known today as Gershwin or Berlin, his songs, with such lyricists as Ira Gershwin and E. Y. Harburg are among the most familiar to many music lovers. Among his most famous are "Blues in the Night," "The Man That Got Away," "Stormy Weather," "That Old Black Magic," and of course "Over The Rainbow," selected as the number one song of the 20th Century and is considered to be the best-loved movie theme of all time. .
A preview performance will be held at 7:30 PM on Friday, November 16. All Friday and Saturday evening performances will begin at 7:30 PM. Matinees will be on Sundays November 25, December 2, December 16, December 23 and December 30 at 3:00 PM.
Ticket prices are $15.00 for the preview performance, $30.00 for the Champagne Opening, and $25.00-Regular/$23.00-Seniors for all other shows. The Gala will include a Champagne and dessert reception after the show.
A special New Year's Eve event (on Monday, December 31) will include the Harold Arlen show on our main stage plus after show cabaret entertainment in the Pewter Plough Cafe.

Looking for a Motel, Inn, Bed and Breakfast Inn or other rooms for rent in Cambria? While Cambria boasts about every sort of lodging accommodation known and leads the county in bed tax collected it can still be tough to nail down a reservation on our about holiday weekends. Our extensive listings should give you a leg up on the competition when it comes down to the wire. If you find yourself in town without a reservation your best bet would then be to sit down with one of the local bartenders or pull in for a tank of gas and start a chat with the attendant as these people generally have their ears to the ground on last minute lodging; as well as many other Cambria subjects of importance.
