The Spirit of Broadway presents an original show for 2013, The Skywalkers, benefiting the Compassion Programs of theMetropolitan Community Center in Atlanta, GA. This hysterical atypical Star Wars parody, written by Trevor Petty, is "honest and respectful to each and every action in the six film saga." However, Petty saw an opportunity to create story lines, motives and intentions not originally in any of the movies. The Skywalkers will be performed on Saturday, August 24, 213 at 8pm at theFirst MCC Theatre.
All in all, the "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" audience will get to enjoy an evening of great singing, fantastic dancing, exciting stories, and an auction of both Star Wars memorabilia, and non-Star Wars items & gift baskets. Petty said, "I further explore the popular Internet 'conspiracy theory' that Vader, along with the help of his family, sabotages the Death Star, and also delve into a power struggle between newly revealed allies Darth Vader & Princess Leia, who learns, that as an adopted daughter to a royal family, she will get none of those royal benefits she's expected her whole life. No royal throne, no royal inheritance, no royal influence....about the only thing she receives is a royal sucker punch. All of that is enough to reconsider her allies."
Whether you are a fan of Star Wars or not, this show will be fun, easy-to-understand and unforgettable. As with all the Star Wars movies, kids are a primary target-audience...right along with dudes who like space explosions, chicks who like a good love triangle and parents who like the occasional subtle innuendo of a Disney movie. Grandparents will also enjoy this show about a three generational family learning to cope with unlimited powers and their struggle to control the galaxy.
