The Edisto Players under the
direction of Cheryl Van Metre present Pat Cook’s comedy YOU CAN’T GET THERE
FROM HERE on Friday and Saturday, March 23rd & 24th
at 8:00pm, and on Sunday, March 25th at 3:00pm, at the Edisto Beach
Education/Civic Center. Tickets are $10 in advance at Beach Combers Hair Salon,
True Value Hardware and The Edistonian, or $12 at the door, if available.
Opening night dinner theater Thursday March 22 at 6:30pm will be sold by reservations only. The dinner and play are $30 per person. Please call Emily Craig at 843-869-9275 or 843-869-3192 for reservations and send check to Edisto Art Guild, PO Box 732, Edisto Island SC 29438.
Actors in the play are: Dee Moseley, Virginia Woodhead, Catherine Douglass, Bob Webb, Lori Shepard, Suzi Elledge and Bert Hatch. Lois Anderson is stage manager, Jimmy King is the lighting designer. Stage crew are Annette Jerwers and Patti Smyer with Judy Blancett serving as prompter.
The play takes place in The Mavis Garner Bed and Breakfast and is not the sort of place you’d find on a freeway or even on a map. That’s because they get most of their customers from a pothole on Main Street. When Arthur Lyman goes looking for Pulitzer Prize winner Lillith Mansfield, he finds himself in that pothole. Deciding to do an expose on the “scam” perpetrated by the town, he checks in. After which he is fined eight times, dragged across town by the local watchdog, and fired from his job. What else could he possibly do but fall in love with one of the proprietors?

Guild Float Shares “Most Creative” Award
The Edisto Art Guild float “Ace Basin Mosquito Queens” tied for “Most Creative” entry in the December 11 Edisto Christmas Parade. The parade theme was “An Ace Basin Christmas.” The Art Guild float featured three “mosquito queens”—women in glittery dresses with large insect heads, big wings, and annoying buzzing long proboscises. A Christmas tree was decorated with anti-mosquito items—flyswatters, purple martins, bats, and cans of Off. The mosquitoes sat on old tires, a reference to mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water caught in tires. Nancy Fishback, Kathy Fritz, and Dottie Hill portrayed the queens. Tony Brodnicki drove the truck pulling the float. Joan Brodnicki and her adorable granddaughter Claire sported wings and antennae, buzzed, and most importantly—showered the crowd with candy.
The float was the product of weeks of planning and manufacture. We started meeting at Nancy’s house in early November and the 3 queens started making their papier mache heads by mid November. Nancy designed the costumes, provided the trailer and tree, and made the sign for the back of the trailer. Dottie made the decorations for the tree and made various shopping trips. Joan made Claire’s costume and the wonderful signs for the truck. We put the float together on Friday and Saturday of parade weekend. We had great help from family members.
I want to thank all of the crew for the incredible effort and unfailing good humor. Trying to ride on a float with a big papier mache mask covering your head and blow a vuvuzela was a challenge! Throwing candy while buzzing and waving required even more dexterity! What a talented group!
