"Lost Socks"

By  Minette Satterwhite Trent

This spring, the Cherokee Civic Theatre, Inc. in Rusk presents the World Premier of a brand new musical. “Lost Socks” is a contemporary musical drama, with song selections ranging from power ballad to rock and roll, which tells a story of love, loss, and redemption, all inside an inner city Laundromat. Show dates are April 25, 26, May 2, 3 at 7:30 PM, and April 27 & May 4 at 2 PM.

Written by local playwright Minette Satterwhite Trent (writer of previous shows “Baloney on Red, White and Blue” and “Confederate Spaghetti”), “Lost Socks” is the tale of Ava (Rachel Joseph) and El (Seth Lord) and their whirlwind romance which they believe will see them through anything. But after a tragic loss, the lovers cannot cope with one another’s grief, and the whirlwind spins them in opposite directions. Finding their way back to themselves and to each other takes time and forgiveness. Supporting characters are Lisa (Castanya Breen) and Chess (Tim Howell), and also a “Cast of Thousands” (Kati Kilpatrick, Kevin Jones, Valerie Parker, Scarlett Henderson, Nancy Jacobs, Amy McCalister, James Pinotti, Lori Dickey, Kevin Guinn, Doug Jones, and Rex Burks).

Original cast soundtracks for “Lost Socks” will be available for sale in the lobby of the theater. Opening night audience members will be invited to join the cast for a pre-show “Launch Party” in the Theater’s annex building. Tickets will go on sale April 14th to patrons and April 21st to the general public.

With a brand new story, brand new music, and lots of new faces to the stage, “Lost Socks” promises to be a fun frolic, a tearjerker, and a lovely evening for patrons of the Cherokee Civic Theater.
