A show statement provided some context about the upcoming production: Traditionally known for delivering outstanding theater during the fall, winter and spring seasons, Playmakers is stepping into new territory with this dynamic summer musical. With air-conditioned comfort and a central location, the theater is uniquely positioned to offer high-quality performances to both locals and the vibrant north coast tourist audience. This summer venture would not be possible without the energy and enthusiasm of Jagged Edge Theatrical Society, a new theater guild designed to serve college-aged students and adults who spend their summers working and residing in the Shores & Islands (Ohio) region but lack opportunities to stay engaged in theater. The response to this initiative has surpassed expectations, resulting in the successful assembly of a talented cast of 24 with remarkable efficiency. Directing this lively production is none other than Angie Bickhart-Sommers, recently honored as the 2024 Ohio Thespian Director of the Year. Under her expert guidance. Bickhart-Sommers serves as the founder and director of the Jagged Edge Theatrical Society. "Legally Blonde" promises to be a crowd-pleasing blend of heart, humor and high-energy choreography. "This collaboration is a win-win. It allows us to expand our programming without overburdening our guild members while offering a theatrical home to young artists who bring fresh perspective and talent to our stage." Join us this July for a bold, pink-powered musical experience that proves Legally Blonde is anything but light entertainment.
