Ladies & Gentlemen, we would like to take a moment to thank you all
so very much for a fantastic first season run!! Also, a special thanks
to everyone that came out this past Saturday for our final season
performance, "War Bonds: Songs and Letters of WWII." It was a truly
unique evening of performance, reverence, and remembrance heading into
this Memorial Day weekend. Audience members were treated
to letters from local Florence veterans present in the crowd, read live
as part of the performance, and met with outstanding ovation!! Thanks
to the Florence Museum and many local veterans for loaning their WWII
memorabilia for display in our lobby. We hope everyone has a blessed
Memorial Day, and an incredible start to your summer! See you around
soon.

The Cheraw Chronicle - World War II musical to be performed at the Ansonia Theatre
“War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II,” a musical journey through a war that redefined the world, will be performed at the Ansonia Theatre in Wadesboro on Sunday, May 20.
This multi-media living history cabaret is interspersed with personal letters from the front and headline news of the period. The production is a warm reminiscence and a harrowing reminder of a time when the whole world seemed upside-down. Award winning artists David zum Brunnen and Serena Ebhardt fill the stage with wartime memories and tunes. Actual veterans stories create a sentimental journey back through the days when blackouts and rationing were a small sacrifice in order to obtain freedom.
A time when Rosie the Riveter discovered she could take care of herself; a time when African-Americans, who were segregated at home, integrated abroad to become heroes; and when a man’s only wish was to be home for Christmas.
“War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II” explores the dark side of war and the strange juxtaposition of the light hearted, popular tunes of the time. Musical Director Julie Florin recreates a nostalgic score of familiar tunes. Twenty-two songs of the period lift the mood — even as the atrocities of war are described.
Songs include “Love Letters,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree,” “This Is The Army” and “Mr. Jones.”
This family show allows the “greatest generation” to celebrate, as the next “greatest generation” contemplates.
“War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II” was recently filmed by UNC-TV, North Carolina’s statewide public television station, to air as a companion piece to the epic WWII documentary series “THE WAR” by legendary filmmaker Ken Burns. The edited-for-television version premiered Dec. 11 as part of UNC-TV’s North Carolina WWII documentary project and is scheduled for national distribution through American Public Television.
To make this a very special community event, there will be a 20 minute “pre-show.” Students from History and English classes at Anson New Tech High School have written an original play about America’s history from 1910 to 1940 which they will perform prior to the professional production. The theater hopes to have a group of the remaining WWII veterans in attendance to be recognized.
Performances will be held at the Ansonia Theatre, 112 S. Rutherford St., Wadesboro. Doors open at 2 p.m. The pre-show begins at 2:30 p.m., followed by a 10 to 15 minute intermission and then War Bonds will last approximately 90 minutes. Tickets are required and may be obtained by calling the Anson County Arts Council 704-694-4950 or at Lacy’s or the Chamber of Commerce, or by using Pay Pal at www.ansoniatheatre.com. Early ticket purchases are encouraged.

World
War II was one of the most tumultuous and emotional times in American
history. Families were torn apart by war without the modern
communication tools we have today.
David and Serena Zum Brunnen will perform their play, “War Bonds” on May 17, at Weldon Auditorium. Once again, David and Serena will knock your socks off with an outstanding performance. War Bonds is a musical journey based on the songs and letters of World War II. The production is a warm reminiscence and harrowing reminder of when the world seemed upside down.
“Through the songs and letters of the time, War Bonds makes an honorable tribute to all those who served our country both home and abroad,” said Sandy Tucker, Weldon director.
David Zumbrunnen served as general manager for Hedgerow Theatre, the Philadelphia Area Repertory Theatre and the PlayMaker Repertory Theatre. He has also received two INDIE awards for enhancing the cultural life in the Triangle Area of North Carolina.
Serena began working in professional theater at the age of six. After working as a producer and actress with several theater companies on the East Coast, she co-founded EbzB Productions, a theater production company.
According to David, EbzB Production’s mission is “to develop theatrical works that promote integrity, self-discovery and positive transformation of individuals, artists, audiences and communities.”
The War Bonds’ curtain rises at 7:30 p.m. There will be a reception to meet the Zum Brunnens after the play. Regular ticket prices range from $20-$25 for adults and $15-$20 for seniors/military, based on seating arrangements.
