GREENE – The Greene High School Auditorium will be alive with song and dance this weekend as the Greene Footlights take to the stage for their production of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.”

Audiences will have three opportunities to see the student production of the musical comedy, which will be performed at 7 tonight and Saturday and during a matinee at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $7 for adults; $5 for students and senior citizens. Children 5 and under are free.

The play is a theatrical adaptation of the 1954 MGM film of the same name, which was based on Stephen Vincent Benet’s short story, “The Sobbin’ Women.”

Set in the Oregon mountains, “Seven Brides” follows the exploits of the seven Pontipee brothers – Adam (Nathanael Westover), Benjamin (Ian Detweiler), Caleb (Kevin DaCosta), Daniel (Eli Carlin), Ephraim (Brady Mowatt), Frank (Alex Trass) and Gideon (Chris DaCosta). The backwoodsmen’s lives are turned upside down – and whipped into shape – when Adam marries Milly (Martina Browning). Soon each of the brothers is looking for a wife of their own.

The production is co-directed by Amanda Boel and Nicole Cline.
