LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County Live! returns to the Soper-Reese Community Theatre for its third outing on Sunday, March 25.

The show begins at 6 p.m. and is broadcast live on Lake County Community Radio KPFZ 88.1 FM and streamed on the web as well.

Created and hosted by Doug Rhoades, Lake County Live! is a one-hour radio broadcast from the theater in front of a live audience.

The show was conceived as a venue for local musical talent and creative writers, with an audience beyond the walls of the theater.

“Our goal is to provide great music and humor and really showcase the variety of talents we have here in Lake County,” said Rhoades. “The show is dynamic in that we’re putting on a radio program in real-time, so we have to move right along with every program.”

Past shows have featured talents such as Polecat Rodeo, Three Deep, EarReverence, Travis Rinker, Michael Barrish with Scott Sommers and Vim Natura.

This third program for LCL! features the musical group “Uncorked” performing music influenced by Ireland and bluegrass. Group members are Dennis Hadley, Andi Skelton, Don Coffin, Eleanor Cook and Dan Harris.  

Andy Rossoff, will perform on the keyboard.  He said, “I grew up on rock’n’roll in the 60s and 70s but my tastes and song list cross many genres, from pop and soul ballads to blues to folk to an occasional country tune.”
 
Returning silliness includes the Dogs of Clear Lake, the Ladies of the Lake and a word from the American Society of Allied Procrastinators, plus some interesting surprises.

The show starts at 6 p.m. on the last Sunday of each month at the Soper-Reese, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.

“We hope everyone will be in the theater and seated by 5:45 p.m., as we talk with the audience for a few minutes before the 6 p.m. start,” said Rhoades. “Because we’re live, that 6 p.m. start is vital. We don’t have 20 seconds leeway, we have to hit the mark coming in and going out.”

Tickets are available at the Soper-Reese Community Theatre box office on Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and at the Lake County Travel Center, 1265 S. Main St. in Lakeport.

For the first time, ticket price will be $5.

The show is produced with the support of the theater, Lake County Community Radio KPFZ 88.1 FM and Lake County News, as www.lakeconews.com .
