LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County's own homegrown variety show, Lake County Live!, will offer up its sixth outing on Sunday, June 24.
The show takes place beginning at 6 p.m. at the Soper-Reese Community Theatre, 275 S. Main St., in Lakeport.
The show also is broadcast live on Lake County Community Radio KPFZ 88.1 FM and is available over a live Internet stream via www.kpfz.org .
This month, the returning guest performers are Pole Cat Rodeo, featuring April Knoll, Randy Johnson, Jon Hopkins and Janet Berrian.
New to the show will be local performers Lucas Swafford, with Rama Deva.
“Our usual cast of characters, including the Ladies of the Lake and Sascha the dog will return,” said show creator and producer Doug Rhoades. “Our audience in the theater has nearly as much fun as we do on the stage. Everyone really gets into the spirit of our old-time live radio production.”
Airing the last Sunday of each month, Lake County Live! has proven to be a continuing source of entertainment, while providing a venue both live on stage and on the air for local performing talent.
“This month's show will continue that string of successes, and we hope to keep putting the best talent in our area on the stage for many months to come,” Rhoades said.
While the show starts promptly at 6 p.m. – which is also the live air time – guests are asked to be at the theater no later that 5:45 p.m.
“We want to make sure everyone is in place and ready at the stroke of 6, when we go live on the air. Plus, I always have a few things to say to our in-house audience off the air, that is just for them,” Rhoades added.
Tickets for this month's show are available at the Travel Center at 1265 S. Main St. in Lakeport; at the theater box office, 275 S. Main St., open Friday, June 22, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and online at www.soperreesetheatre.com .
