Even though the Showboat promises two more productions this summer, it is time to announce the 2016 Season. That will happen on Tuesday, July 28th at 7pm during the Showboat Follies.

The Follies is an evening of entertainment by the professional company, the Showboat interns and some local performers. Hosted by Producing Artistic Director Matthew Teague Miller, the show will recap some favorite songs from 2015 shows and highlight numbers from next summer's season.

The audience will not only be first to learn what shows are planned for the 2016 CAST season, but there will also be specials, offering the best pricing on 2016 season tickets. After the performance, there is a reception in the lobby of the Showboat.

Members of this summer's professional company who will perform numbers at the Follies include : Jonathan Young, Christian Chambers, Livvy Marcus, and Bailey Reeves. Production Music Director Matt Bean and Lighting Designer/Production Manager Kyle Davis will also perform. The Follies will provide an opportunity to preview the talents of Daniella Dalli who will play the role of Diana in Next to Normal.

Local performers participating in Tuesday's Follies include : Peter Sickels, Kris Doss, Allison Winkel, Laurel Decker, Hannah Dalton, Lily Leding, and Joseph Brune. Members of the Intern Company performing in the Follies include : Haley Appel, Matthew Espey, Erin Hardigan, Hannah Johnson, Susanna Klooster, Savannah Medley, Clayton Melvin, Audrey Simpson, Danica Smith, Kate Struble, Cassie Van Zuiden, Emma Van Zuiden and Kayla Zeimet.

Tickets for the Follies are just $20 and may be purchased at the box office or at www.clintonshowboat.org. For more information about any of the Showboat performances, call
