Coots Repertory Co. joins Presby lineup

The Coots Repertory Company, actors Ron Siemer, Jerry Buck and Walter Rhodes, and playwright Virgil Hervey*, will put on the ten-minute play "Parking Spaces" at the First Presbyterian Church's third annual "Season's Joy" celebration at the Emporium on Dec. 4. The show starts at 7:00 p.m. The play is scheduled to close out the first half, just before intermission.

"Parking Spaces" was first performed this summer at the Corner Cone as a part of the Soft-Serve Playhouse 10-minute Play Festival. It was performed again at the Corner Cone during Fall Street Fair. According to Hervey, this will be the play's final performance.

"I think we've beaten this one to death," he said in a recent interview. "It's time we started rehearsing our next play, "Eddie's Ark." We need be ready when the next 10-minute play festival comes along and it takes awhile for these guys to learn their lines."
