Jonesborough Repertory Theatre presents South Pacific
It is 1943 and the United States Navy has established several bases in the Solomon Islands, in preparation for an invasion towards New Guinea and the Central Pacific. On one such island lives a French planter named Emile de Becque, whom the Navy wishes to employ as a scout to nearby Japanese held islands. To accomplish this task, de Becque is approached by a US Navy nurse named Nellie Forbush. Amidst an outstanding musical score that features hits such as “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair” and “There Is Nothing Like A Dame”. Add to that the breathtaking scenery, and the drama of South Pacific unfolds. This show is the perfect patriotic musical for the Fourth of July holiday!
