    The Roanoke Rapids Theatre Signature Show “FAMILY REUNION” – featuring the Jerusalem Ridge Band

    $23.00 all tickets
    Special pricing for groups of 20 or more.

    “Family Reunion" contains exciting state-of-the-art lighting effects and video technology that brings a new dimension to an already high energy, feel-good show,” said Dixon, musical director and show writer. “It’s really an inspiring production for the entire family which will feature a variety of music from Big Band, Gospel, Bluegrass and much more. We wanted to build a show that not only features great music but also reached out to the emotions of our audience.” The show’s theme song, “Family Reunion,” was written by Wyatt Staton, a longtime resident of the Rocky Mount, NC area who unexpectedly died of cancer last summer. His song is about the importance of family, growing up in the South, and how important it is to cherish every moment people have with their loved ones and friends. The show, “Family Reunion,” is based on that same foundation.

    Barbara Hartwig, from the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is the director and choreographer for the show. Hartwig found her love for theatre at the young age of six when she started performing in the outdoor drama, The Lost Colony. Returning to her roots, two years ago, Hartwig has been choreographing The Lost Colony, for the past two seasons. She most recently completed a four-year stint performing and working as a staging specialist for Walt Disney World. Hartwig performed on Broadway with Chita Rivera, danced at the White House with Baryshnikov, toured nationally in the musical Me and My Girl, toured Europe as Ado Annie in Oklahoma!, and can be seen as an orphan in the movie Annie. Barbara has directed such popular shows as The Sound of Music, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and West Side Story.
