First Report
Atlantic Stage Theater, the only professional theater in the Myrtle Beach area, is kicking off "Bigfoot & Other Lost Souls" on January 27th. As usual, proceeds from opening night ticket sales will go to a local charity.
Coastal Carolina University marketing interns developed the promotional video above. According to the video notes, the plan is to release a new video each day until the show opens.
"Bigfoot and Other Lost Souls," is a new musical comedy by Tony Award-winning composer Mark Hollmann and book writer Adrien Royce. The story centers on novice scriptwriter and shoe-size 11 narrow Bernie Bernstein, who broke and broken-hearted, accepts an assignment to write a documentary on Bigfoot. While on her journey of discovery, she encounters a slew of tabloid-sized characters and the truth not only about The Big Guy but herself as well.
All proceeds from opening night will benefit the Horry County Literacy Council. The Horry County Literacy Council's mission is to promote literacy throughout Horry County and provide the services necessary to the residents who wish to improve their basic literacy skills, learn to speak English, or overcome a learning difficulty such as dyslexia.
