Vicksburg Theatre Guild (updated 7/05) During the heyday of the great riverboats, entertainment was provided by traveling bands, musical/minstrel shows and acting groups traveling on "showboats." Often the major event of the year, these theatrical groups performed in towns up and down the river. In 1936, a local theatre group borrowed a barge from the Army Corps of Engineers for the first production of "Gold in the Hills." "Gold," a melodrama like those once popular on the old river boats, has run on a seasonal basis in Vicksburg ever since. "Gold" has been seen by more than a quarter of a million people and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest running show of its type. Today, the Vicksburg Theatre Guild is one of the most active cultural organizations in the city. At home in the Parkside Playhouse (3101 Confederate Avenue), the community theatre presents five productions each year. Selections include comedy, drama, classics and musicals - something for any theatrical taste. |
