The Kingston Trio

, , , , ,

We have received word that the scheduled performance by The Kingston Trio needs to be postponed for several weeks. Singer Mike Marvin contracted Covid and was hospitalized. He is out now and healing but needs some more recouperation time. We will reschedule this concert as soon as he is feeling well enough to perform again. 
If you purchased tickets, you should have received a separate email with notice of your refund. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to bringing this group into Kingman soon.

The Beale Street Theater is very excited to present “The Kingston Trio”. The Kingston Trio, a classic folk music group will be performing on Friday March 11, 2022 at 6:00 PM at Lee Williams High School, which is located at 400 Grandview Ave, Kingman, AZ 86401. Tickets are $35.00-$55.00 per person and can be purchased online at www.bealestreettheater.com.

Fans of legendary folk icons The Kingston Trio can re-discover their timeless music all over again. In celebration of 60-plus years of music, the iconic folk group performs their best-loved songs as part of the ‘Keep The Music Playing’ national tour. All three current members, Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Don Marovich, have intrinsic links to the original group: Mike is the “adopted son” of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor; Tim, a friend of John Stewart since he was in his early twenties, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Don Marovich, a highly regarded musician who has also toured with the original Trio.
The Kingston Trio was one of the most prominent groups of the era’s pop-folk boom that started in 1958 with the release of their first album and its hit recording of “Tom Dooley”, which sold over three million copies as a single.
Cited as an influence by recording artists as musically and generationally diverse as Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Eagles to comedian and banjo player Steve Martin to contemporary artists such as the multi-Grammy® nominated Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, The Kingston Trio occupies a unique, preeminent position in American musical history.
The Trio released 19 albums that made Billboard’s Top 100, 14 of which ranked in the top 10, and five of which hit the number 1 spot. Four of the group’s LPs charted among the 10 top-selling albums for five weeks in November and December 1959, a record unmatched for more than 50 years, and the group still ranks in the all-time lists of many of Billboard’s cumulative charts, including those for most weeks with a number 1 album, most total weeks charting an album, most number 1 albums, most consecutive number 1 albums, and most top ten albums.

See Below for additional information and videos of the group. See also their website, www.kingstontrio.com and Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/kingston.trio.

Snoopy!!! the Musical – Meet Sally & Peppermint Patty

, ,

Written by: Sidney Valdez

Our upcoming performances of Snoopy!!! the Musical are right around the corner! Here to give you the inside scoop on the show, we are proud to introduce two of the show’s leading ladies!

Drew Stephenson as Peppermint Patty

We recently had the opportunity to talk to both Rylie Taylor and Drew Stephenson who will be portraying the characters Sally and Peppermint Patty, respectively. Similarly, both girls had heard about our growing community theater and felt it was a great opportunity to get involved and showcase their outstanding talent. Drew and Rylie are both well-established actresses in our community.

You may have seen Drew star as Babette/Enchantress in Beauty and the Beast Jr. or a star-struck teen in Bye Bye Birdie. As for Rylie, you may have seen her star in shows like Scrooge; Dorothy in Wonderland; Little Mermaid; Beauty and the Beast Jr., and more. Rylie has been in a total of 8 shows including Snoopy!!!

Rylie finds herself drawn to Sally because she can be very bubbly, outgoing, and upbeat. On the other hand, Drew is playing her total opposite, Peppermint Patty, the tomboy whose boisterous voice is not afraid to speak her mind to get everything she wants.

Rylie Taylor as Sally

Rylie and Drew agree that the best part of rehearsals has been bonding with the cast and crew who have become like family! They look forward to every rehearsal and all the incredible memories they have forged throughout the way. Rylie is especially delighted to have her twin sister join the crew as the choreographer. Drew can attest to just how fun it is having the pair build on the incredible dance showcased in the production.

Prepare to be mesmerized by remarkable dance numbers in tunes like “Don’t Be Anything Less” and “The Big Bow Wow.” You will be entranced by the heartfelt nature of the everyday life of the peanuts gang, and enthralled by Charles Shulz’s timeless humor.

Join Drew and Rylie this August 21t, 22nd, 28th & 29th  @ 6pm at Metcalf Park in Downtown Kingman for this can’t-miss performance of Snoopy!!! the Musical! Seating is limited so get your tickets online while they are available!

We recently announced our upcoming performances for Snoopy!!! The Musical set for this August 21st, 22nd, 28th, and 29th. Now we are proud to present the actors bringing the show to life!

This week we had the opportunity to talk to Amber Wisely who will be portraying Lucy Van Pelt! Amber is an avid Beale Street Theater performer. You may have seen her as Scuttle in The Little Mermaid Jr., Emma in The Legend of the Lone Texas Walker Ranger, a Villager in Beauty and The Beast Jr., and now Lucy! After hearing about her fellow peers’ past experiences with our shows Amber said she was glad to get involved and be a part of all the fun.

Amber is especially excited to take on the role of Lucy because of her natural spunky sass. She believes everyone can relate to and admire Lucy’s strong opinions and her tenacity in expressing them. When reminiscing on her favorite part of the rehearsal process, Amber credits every day with her fellow cast and crew members. She believes the connections forged are the most memorable. She states, “The cast and crew are truly made up of some of the most talented and amazing actors, actresses, and tech.”

Amber invites any and all who are interested in the world of Snoopy to come out and watch! “The show is full of laughs as well as sweet moments that’ll make you want to share a heartfelt smile with loved ones. I can share that when I first read the script I had a constant smile on my face. You are sure to feel connected to the unique story of these rambunctious kids.”

Snoopy!!! The Musical is sure to melt your heart and leave you with a smile! Join Amber in what she calls “a can’t-miss performance of the year!” Snoopy!!!

Snoopy!!! the Musical – Meet Linus!

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Written by Sidney Valdez

Last week we announced our upcoming outdoor performances for Snoopy!!! The Musical. Now we are proud to introduce the actors bringing the show to life! 

This week we were able to sit down with Joseph Kyler who will be playing Linus Van Pelt this August 21st, 22nd, 28th, and 29th. Joseph Kyler is no stranger to Beale Street Theater shows! You may have seen him take on the character Cogsworth in our production of Beauty and The Beast Jr, or Toronto in The Legend of the Lone Texas Walker Ranger. Joseph continues to audition and come out for shows because acting has always been a great passion of his. He decided the more performing he could do the better! 

Joey found himself especially connected to his character, Linus, in that they both are philosophical powerhouses. He went on to say, “Linus also cracks the best jokes which I choose to believe is also very much like me!” When asked about his co-stars and favorite memories to date he stated “It’s all been happening so fast! It’s a blur of smiles, giggles, and incredible memories with even more incredible people.” He is most excited to showcase his newfound master dance moves which he credits his choreographer, Mollie Taylor, for her skill in teaching. He looks forward to the audience’s reactions to both his solo “The Vigil” and Snoopy’s big number “The Big Bow Wow!” 

Snoopy!!! The Musical will captivate families, the young, the dreamers, and all those above. As Joey says, you don’t want to miss this childlike-dream feature! 
Snoopy!!! The Musical performance dates are set for August 21st, 22nd, 28th, and 29th at The Metcalf Park downtown. Tickets are available online and seating is limited. 

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged Back for One Weekend ONLY!

After a period of COVID-19 shutdowns of all non-essential organizations, Beale Street Theater is open once again and back to finish what they started in the spring.

            The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged by Adam Long, Daniel Singer & Jess Winfield is set to perform for one weekend only! On June 25 and 26, director Bob Blake and cast will be performing at 7pm both nights at Metcalf Park, 315 W Beale Street. Black Bridge Brewery will still be selling Shakespeare-themed beer during the show in support of the theater!

For anyone late to the party, this show is a satirical summary of every Shakespeare work, including that of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. Though satirical, the show also nods at Shakespeare respectfully, for we could not make fun of him if he didn’t write so many ridiculous pieces.

The show will still be performed on the stage at Metcalf Park with a minimal set designed specifically to be portable to and from the venue. The costumes are obnoxious and silly and, yes, Lucas will still be a woman most of the time—we wouldn’t be true to the time period if he wasn’t! Lucas will actually be traveling back from his home in Minnesota to finish the show for Kingman, so keep a lookout for his travel videos these next couple weeks!

Beale Street Theater’s presentation of this comedic work is a great way to take the city’s mind off the worrisome events unfolding around the world. We are also taking great care to minimize any issues COVID might cause. Performing in the park will give the audience an open-air venue to promote social distancing. The theater also recommends that audience members bring their own chairs to minimize any cross-contaminations of the virus. Among these precautions, the theater is taking many others to ensure safety of volunteers and audiences alike.

Beale Street Theater greatly appreciates your support towards local businesses and non-profit organizations. Come out and support the Beale Street Theater and Black Bridge Brewery—have a pint and laugh your pantaloons off!

Tickets are $12 per person and are on sale online at https://bealestreettheater.com//tickets/ or at the gates before the show.

To further support Beale Street Theater, donations can be made at the show or online at https://bealestreettheater.com//donate/

 As Shakespeare once said, “We put the fun in dysfunctional.” ….or was that Green Day?

Drink Shakesbeer at Ye Ol’ Tavern March 7th

Beale Street Theater has recently partnered with a near and dear Kingman local Brewery! Black Bridge Brewery, located at 421 E. Beale St. in Downtown Kingman, is opening its doors to the public on March 7th, 2020 at 7pm for a night of Shakespeare and ShakesBEER. (Haha, get it?)

In honor of Beale Street Theater’s upcoming Spring Show, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) authored by Adam Long, Jess Winfield, and Daniel Singer, Black Bridge Brewery has launched two special beers! The first, an old English ale fit for the bard, is called “ShakesBeer.” You can also ask for “Much Ado About Beer” if you’d like something a little lighter.

In addition, Beale Street Theater’s very own hilarious cast will be performing bits of the production on stage on the back patio for your entertainment. You’ll see them in bright yellow shirts and go ahead and chat with them about the upcoming performances and their rehearsals. They sure love to talk, especially when they get drinking.  

Along with a live performance and two new fantastic beers, you’ll be able to enjoy local music in between it all. Best yet, Black Bridge Brewery is offering Happy Hour Pricing for anyone that dresses up as a rogue or a wench! And, of course, there is no cover charge!

So, can you keep up with William Shakespeare, the bard of bards? We heard he had some wild days back then! With all that fame, who can blame him?

We’ll see you on March 7th at 7pm!
