Forever Plaid in Lake Charles, LA for Seven More Performances

Four young singers in doo wop group similar to The Platters and The Diamonds, stand on stage singing into really long handles of plungers. Later on, one of them sits on a stool and croons a toon while the other three run around frantically trying to act out what would be like a full hour of The Ed Sullivan Show in less than four minutes.

These four singers are Sparky, Smudge, Jinx, and Francis. They are respectively played by Cole Becton, Jaylin Williams, Clay Corley, and Quaid Nichols. The singing group is known as The Plaids. At first, they are dressed in what seems to be an oddly bedazzling white. However, when the plot is that they come back to earth after being killed and having to spend time somewhere between earth and heaven, of which where that exactly is, they aren't sure, it makes more sense.

It isn't explicitly stated in the play, but it seems like the Plaids must perform one last concert before they are allowed to go to heaven. There are quite a few props used throughout the play to change their looks, but there is one big change before the last song.

Michael Parker joins Becton, Williams, Corley, and Nichols on stage as the pianist that "came with the room." All of these young actors have great talent and voices that would allow them to be professionals if the opportunity arose. While lighting for a play is always important, the lighting in this play is almost an actor itself. The lighting designer is Dennis Murdock. The play is directed by Dan Sadler.

Forever Plaid is playing at The Lake Charles Little Theater located 813 Enterprise Blvd., Lake Charles, LA 70601.
