Rusty joined the Board of Directors in the summer of 2010 after working with the GCTC gang on The Sound of Music. When his daughter was cast as Gretl Von Trapp, Rusty volunteered to help as a set-builder. Little did he know what lie ahead… He ended up being asked to fill the void left by a cast-member who was injured during a fall, and the rest was history! After being part of a team that moved mountains for The Sound of Music (LITERALLY!), he decided he wanted to continue to be involved long-term with the GCTC. He auditioned and was cast as a lead character in The One That Got Away in the fall of 2010.Â
Rusty is a 2000 graduate of the University of Southern Indiana, where he received his degree in Elementary Education. He is currently employed at Bristol Myers-Squibb as the Production Training Coordinator. He, his wife Bethany, and two daughters reside in Haubstadt. His daughters both enjoy the stage and he foresees being a part of the GCTC for a long time!
The cast is set for The One That Got Away. Cast members are as follows:
Annie- Marybeth Feutz
Donna- Celeste Walker
Madeline- Kara Gray
Blair- Mistie Frazier
Carol- Stacy Hurt
Understudy for Madeline and Blair – Kayci Schmidt
Understudy for Annie and Donna – Andrea Turner
Brad- Rusty Reeves
Max- Kris Schmidt
Geordie- Kenny Lasley
Harold- Brian Medcalf
Clive- John Feutz
Understudy for Brad and Max – Matthew Przymus
Understudy for Geordie and Harold – Tony Phillips
GCTC is holding auditions for The One That Got Away this week.Â
A headline in the state newspaper reads, “Annual Fishing Tournament Expecting Record Number of Female Participants.” This news is great for women who love the sport of fishing. It’s even better news for men who love the sport of “picking up chicks”.
The One That Got Away is a comedy by Eddie McPherson. The show will be directed by Jessie Dyer. Planned show dates are Sept. 24th - 26th at the Princeton Country Club.
The first audition is Thursday evening at Princeton Community High School Auditorium from 6 – 8 PM.  There will also be an audition on Saturday, July 31st at the Princeton Community High School Auditorium from 10 AM to Noon.
We are looking for 5 men and 5 women ages 25 – 40.
Please prepare a joke for the audition.
The Sound of Music sets record attendance for the Gibson County Theatre Company, with a three show attendance run of over 1000 people.
Festival children will have their head shots taken at their rehearsal on Wednesday June 30th. All other cast members who are scheduled for the June 30th rehearsal who have not yet had their head shots taken will need to have them taken at this time.
Synopsis
What do you get when you combine classic holiday characters with human frailties – a smash hit that has them rolling in the aisle. These six wonderful holiday scenes use satire and comedy to reveal the meaning of Christmas.
| Â |
All of the characters that you love and enjoy are here, starting with the first scene where Uncle Sam, Easter Bunny, Cupid, Ezekiel the Pilgrim, and Hagatha the Witch are envious of the popularity of Santa Claus, only to be won over by a twist of fate. The second scene depicts Donner and Blitzen, who have been exercising during the off-season because they are tired of bringing up the rear of the pack, all because of a song. The third scene depicts Talking Cathy, with four talking dolls ordained to speak “insignificant – one dimensional” phrases. While three are content with their lives, one realizes that they can make a difference in the world, if only they decided to speak out. In the fourth scene we watch two elves on break, as they learn that Santa has decided to hire females in the shop – their transition is revealing. In the fifth scene we join Barbie and G. I. Joe, as they discuss Barbie’s potential break-up with Ken in this love triangle that pits rough and tough against tender and sensitive. And the sixth scene culminates in a trial of the reindeer that ran over Grandma with the entrance of Scrooge as the prosecuting attorney.

Synopsis
A headline in the state newspaper reads, “Annual Fishing Tournament Expecting Record Number of Female Participants.” This news is great for women who love the sport of fishing. It’s even better news for men who love the sport of “picking up chicks”. When Brad and his buddies hear the news, they pack their backpacks and head to Weiss Lake where the tournament is being held. Because the guys know that the women at the tournament will be impressed with men who exude expert fishing knowledge, they conduct research by picking up a couple of fishing magazines at the local Seven Eleven. They figure by the time the “chicks” find out the men know nothing about fishing they have already won them over with their “charm and animal magnetism.” But when one of the men’s inept cousin tags along unintentionally and then accidentally spills the beans to the women about the men’s intentions, the weekend becomes more than anyone bargained for. And then Brad’s fiancĂ©e shows up. The women have a plan to put the ego-filled fellows in their place – – and it’s not going to be pretty.
