The Cumming Playhouse personally invites you to celebrate the opening of this beautiful historic building by taking a step back in history and reliving the story of one soldier.

"Soldiers in Gray" is the story of a soldier's life before, during and after the War Between the States, 1861-1865. Your ancestor could be this soldier. This is a fictional character whose story is based on written facts and personal letters of people who endured this fight for the South; starting with the thunder of the threatened south and ending with discovering a treasure--- a heritage treasure. This educational, musical journey of a soldier's life and feelings during the war will encourage you to preserve and honor our southern heritage for which these soldiers fought.

Starring Stan Clardy as "the soldier," this performance takes place on Saturday, June 25 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at (770) 781-9178 or by visiting www.playhousecumming.com.

About the Cumming Playhouse

After a year's hard work restoring the 1923 Cumming Public School Building at 101 School Street in Cumming, and reviving a beautiful performance hall within, the City of Cumming is very pleased to announce that they are now ready for company.

The handicap-accessible, 184-seat theater is outfitted with state-of-the-art sound and lighting technology. Local theater companies and school groups will be invited to perform there, as well as road shows who wish to make Cumming one of their stops. Watch for family entertainment to include concerts, soliloquies, comedies, musicals, historic reenactments and community performances.

The Cumming Playhouse building, that was formerly the public school, was named to the National Register in 2000. A property of The City of Cumming, it also houses The Historical Society of Forsyth County and The Col. Hiram Parks Bell Center for Southern History and Genealogical Research. As a performing arts venue, The Cumming Playhouse provides quality entertainment throughout the season offering plays, musicals, concerts, and catered fine dining on select performance nights.
