This was the 36th year for the annual show that allowed the talent of Lincoln County to shine bright.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s show was entitled \u201cYou Oughta Be in Pictures,\u201d featuring nine performances showcasing actors, a 13-member band, dancers, and singers, along with songs from the 1950s, \u201860s, \u201870s, and \u201880s. Actors took the audience on a trip to Hollywood, where they tried to break into the entertainment business. Writing the script, Deborah O\u2019Connor said the show allowed the actors the freedom to include unscripted banter or witticisms that gave each performance its own uniqueness. Additionally, each of the show\u2019s performances allowed the plot to grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the production\u2019s website, the Fabulous Fifties Show came about after Peggy Mann, a local art enthusiast, had attended and enjoyed a similar show featuring classic songs and performances in a neighboring town. She believed Fayetteville should do something similar to entertain the community and raise funds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After working with locals, Cary Sullivan and Edith McKay, Mann\u2019s thought started to become a reality. The rest, they would say, is history. In its over three decades in Fayetteville, the demand for the show has continued to grow, with nine performances included in the show as opposed to the two that it started with. It has given local performers and lovers of entertainment a chance to participate in something that showcases local talent and welcomes visitors from outside the city limits, further boosting the local economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC00608-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/DSC00608-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/DSC00608-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/DSC00608-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/DSC00608-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/DSC00608-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/DSC00608-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/DSC00608.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographed by Brooke Snyder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All Hands on Deck&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to point out that the annual larger-than-life show that has become a staple in the community doesn\u2019t just happen overnight. It takes many hands and talents from locals with a true heart for the production.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show\u2019s producer, Jane Wilcox, said over 90 volunteers came together this year to help prepare for the show. The cast and crew comprised community members from ages 2 to those in their 70s. Everyone involved in the show is a volunteer and is from Lincoln County.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locals such as Carl Gleghorn, artist, architect, and owner of the Dragonfly Art\u00a0Gallery, helped design the show\u2019s backdrop and T-shirts sold during the production. Once Gleghorn created the backdrop, art students with Lincoln County High School, led by Jennie Roles-Walter, brought it to life with their own artistic touches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performers who participated also began preparing months in advance for the event. Wilcox stated that the band started practicing in November, and the singers and dancers started to practice on the first of January.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Le nding a helping hand&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fabulous Fifties Foundation is a nonprofit organization. Over the years, proceeds have been donated to the American Cancer Society and the Multi-County Cancer Support Network. Today, show proceeds go to the Fabulous Fifties Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that allows funds to serve families in Lincoln County.
