RCT ‘Father of the Bride’ opens

Ruston Community Theatre’s play “Father of the Bride” opened Thursday night and will continue to run until Sunday.

Sponsored by Century Next Bank, and directed by Mary Watkins, the show will start at 7 p.m. tonight and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are still available for $14 for adults and $7 for students/children by visiting rctruston.org or buying tickets one hour prior to each show in the Dixie Theatre lobby. 

Restaurants in downtown Ruston are also getting in the wedding spirit by offering specials. Champs, Grown & Grazed, Staple Sandwich Co. and Utility Brewing each have “Father of the Bride-“themed offerings. Additionally, Peach City Rolled Ice Cream will be available at the Dixie after each show.

Main Street Director and Community Coordinator Amy Stegall said the interaction between the Ruston Community Theatre performance and the downtown restaurants is just another benefit of the parish.

“I love seeing businesses and the art organizations work together to make downtown even better for our community,” Stegall said. “The collaborative spirit is what makes our downtown so special.”
