I C O N
Theatre Company
Presents
At the Historic DeSoto Theater
|
By David Rogers
America's most famous family of hillbillies in a delightful and
uproariously funny comedy.
|
|
 |
Coming this summer from Icon Theatre Company, the lovable
Clampett family rides onto the DeSoto stage for an evening of
hillbilly hilarity. With a humble beginning in their
mountain cabin, the play follows the Clampetts through the discovery of
oil, their improbable invasion of hi-falutin' Beverly Hills
society, and the absurd adventures and ridiculous romances they
encounter there. They and the people they meet in "Californy"
provide endless laughs and good family fun. |

Icon Theatre Company Mission Statement
At Icon Theatre Company,
Inc., we believe in the special nature of the creative act and
that everyone has the impulse to create. It is our mission to
provide our community with an additional opportunity –
supplementing the existing and wonderful theatre organizations
in Rome and Northwest Georgia – to experience live theatre to
the fullest.
Further,
theatre is the most communal of all of the creative arts. We
invite everyone to join us in creating theatre, both as
practitioners and as audience. With this in mind, we have two
major goals: to provide a wide variety of valid and high quality
theatrical experiences for our audiences; and to provide a
quality experience for our members.
If you are
interested in any facet of theatre, Icon Theatre Company
welcomes your patronage and select participation. Join us for
auditions, apply to be part of a production team, or simply
enjoy a wonderful show! |
