Moonlight and Magnolias By Ron Hutchinson Directed by Ron Bashford Starring Charles McIver and Scott Treadway For once, everyone in Hollywood agrees on one thing: Gone With the Wind is going to be a huge flop. Up to his ears in debt, and weeks behind in shooting, legendary producer David O. Selznick pulls director Victor Fleming from his current project, The Wizard of Oz, and hires famed script doctor Ben Hecht to rewrite the screenplay in just five days. But Hecht has never read the book, and a desperate Selznick and Fleming are forced to act out the story while he frantically types. Inspired by true events, this hilarious comedy is by turns a side-splitting farce and loving critique of the Golden Age of Hollywood. This show runs from February 20-March 9, Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2pm. North Carolina Stage Company is located at 15 Stage Lane, Asheville, NC 28801. The box office is open between 10am and 5pm Monday through Friday and the phone number is (828) 350-9090. The ticket prices range from $15-25 depending on the day.
