Ruston Community Theatre
Presents
Louisiana Premier
Of
'The Red Velvet Cake War'
Ruston Locals will get State's first taste of 'The Red Velvet Cake War'
RCT will Premier the newest play written by three of the most widely produced playwrights in America, THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR...right here in Ruston, Louisiana! The play is written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten. The same trio that wrote 'The Dixie Swim Club' which RCT just closed in July, and 'Dearly Beloved' scheduled for March 2011.
The Premier opens October 17, 2010 at 2:00pm at The Dixie Center for the Arts right after the World and Texas premiers. Additional dates the play will run are October 21-22 at 7:00pm and October 23 at 2:00 pm.
THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR
is a riotously funny Southern-fried comedy where the three Verdeen cousins –
Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette – could not have picked a worse time to
throw their family reunion. Their outrageous antics have set tongues wagging in
the small town of Sweetgum and the eyes of Texas are upon them. Things spin
hilariously out of control and a shocking high-stakes wager is made on who
bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced uproarious romp barrels
toward its surprising climax, you’ll wish your own family reunion was this much
fun!

ABOUT US
Ruston Community Theater was formed in 1978 by a group of local citizens who loved theater and wanted to create an opportunity for the people of Ruston to direct, act, and attend local community productions. Without a facility the group preformed in various places around the city of Ruston. There was a need for this type of entertainment, and RCT continued to grow over the years.
With the renovations of the Dixie Theater, RCT found its permanent home.
When the Dixie Center for the Arts opened its doors in 2006, RCT moved in as a priority partner.
Four plays are presented each season. RCT is governed by a board of directors elected by season membership.
