Palestine Community Theatre Group to stage “Sugar”

Classic comedy based on the screenplay of 1959 movie "Some Like It Hot"

Palestine's Texas Theater

PALESTINE — The Palestine Community Theatre Group is working tirelessly to bring "Sugar" to the stage of the Texas! In just a few weeks the Texas will open its doors and present a classic comedy based on the screenplay "Some Like It Hot" during the Dogwood Trails Celebration in Palestine. The show is being sponsored by our friends at Bodi Services, LLC and directed by Terri Warren.. The Historic Texas Theatre is one of the oldest and most beautiful theatres in East Texas and home to the talented Palestine Community Theatre Group.

“Some Like It Hot” is an American comedy film, made in 1958 and released in 1959, featuring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. "SUGAR" chronicles the zany lives of two musicians during the prohibition era who witness a gang slaying. The storyline is set in the 1920s, and centered around two out-of-work musicians Joe and Jerry, who witness a Valentine’s Day mob shooting in Chicago. In order to escape the gangsters, Joe and Jerry become Josephine and Daphne and join an all female band headed to Miami! The scene is set with both guys who are masquerading as women getting involved in romantic entanglements that will have audiences in stitches.

Make plans to see "Sugar" this March at the Texas! Opening night is March 23 with our traditional Wine and Cheese reception starting at 6:30 PM. The food for the reception is being donated by Bon Appetite and the wine provided by Sweet Dreams Winery. Tickets are available online now through Outhouse Tickets and in Palestine at Education Unlimited and the Palestine Chamber of Commerce.
