LAKEPORT, Calif. – “Lake County Live!” – the monthly program featuring local talent and comedy – will come to a close with the last show on Sunday, July 27, at the Soper-Reese Theatre.
Debuting back in January 2012, the show has featured local comedy, poets and more than three dozen local musical performers, all doing their best before a live theater audience and entertaining those on the air on KPFZ 88.1 FM in real time, as a live performance.
Sunday will mark the 30th and final performance of the show.
Please join us as the Ladies of the Lake will again provide laughs and closure of their more than two and half years of comments on life in Lake County.
Also on the final performance the show will feature Clovice Lewis and Carol Cole-Lewis with great music, as well as the guitar artistry of Travis Rinker.
“We've had a great run with great run,” said show creator and producer Doug Rhoades. “But all good things run their course, and it's time to bid adieu of Ladies of the Lake, the Lake County Daily Herald Sentinel, Mama Maybelle's Bountiful Brownies and all that we have created.”
Thus, July 27 will mark the final performance of this showcase for local talent and comedy, Rhoades said.
“We've featured more than 60 local performers providing musical entertainment, and dozens more lending their talents to our skits and comedy” said Rhoades.
However, he concluded, “It's time to move on.”
Tickets for the final show are available online at www.soperreesetheatre.com , at the Travel Center in Lakeport and through Lake County Community Co-op.
“We've had a wonderful run, given we didn't anticipate the show would last more than a year initially,” Rhoades said. “I want to thank all who have come to the theater and applauded, laughed and enjoyed our shows. I also want to thank Richard Smith, Vicky Parish Smith, Kris Andre, Pamela Bradley, Nick Reid, Nancy Rhoades, Kris Veenstra, Mike and Andrea Adams, Mike Stempe and Jane Ruggles, as well as Jeremiah French for his expertise as our audio engineer and everyone who helped make Lake County Live! The show I had always envisioned.”
He added, “It is bittersweet, but all good things come to an end, and it's time to bid adieu to Lake County Live!”
