For a story you may have never heard about one of the greatest movies ever made, Sturgeon Bay’s Third Avenue PlayWorks invites you to pull up a chair.

Entering its first full week on stage, Moonlight and Magnolias takes audiences back to the late 1930s, when producer David O. Selznick, director Victor Fleming and screenwriter Ben Hecht desperately tried to take Gone With the Wind from failure to fantastic over the course of five days.

Written by playwright Ron Hutchinson and featuring actors Rudy Galvan, Paige Klopfenstein, John Taylor Phillips and Nick Vidal, Artistic Director Jacob Janssen says the play does an excellent job telling the stories behind the stories behind the movie’s memorable scenes and dialogue.

Moonlight and Magnolias runs at Third Avenue PlayWorks through June 21. You can learn more about the production at this link.
