Artistic Civic Theatre

"The Sparkley Clean Funeral Singers” (by Lori Fischer and Don Chaffer) is a four-character musical comedy about a quirky country singing duo who lost their recording contract when the lead singing alcoholic sister crashed their tour bus into a pet store, sending many a goldfish to an early fish tank heaven. Now, the back-up singing sister, Junie, has gotten them a gig as funeral singers with the hope that this unexpected career move will jump start their musical come-back. The problem is, Lashley, the just out of rehab lead singer, does her best singing drunk. Set in small town Tennessee, it’s a comedy about two disparate sisters, who sing funeral songs that are tailor made for each dead person. The two sisters along with the compulsive gambling Pastor Phil and their aging father, who is still deeply in love with the mother who left them all long ago, sing blues, roots rock and quirky country tunes.

Directed by Rick Martin and with musical direction by Ward Satterfield, "Sparkley Clean Funeral Singers" features David Pasqua (Lyle Lashley), Heather Burton (Junie Lashley), Cassie Richardson (Lashley Lee Lashley) and Reese Thomas (Pastor Phil).
