Lake Ozarks Amphitheater - Sign Change

The Lake Ozarks Amphitheater is getting ready to do the first step to make its mark at the Lake.  The quarter million dollar sign that lit the sky on old route 5 is about to be moved to the new Pier One Road where the entrance of the Amphitheater will get ready to open for the season. 
    The old Stoneridge sign was built in 1993 and cost more than $200,000 back then.   Just recently a state of the art sign board was put in so it only made sense that the huge sign would be moved and erected with the new name; Lake Ozarks Amphitheater.   Missouri Neon Signs out of Springfield will be taking the gigantic sign down Monday, April 5th.  They said that it would cost more than $550,000 to replace the Las Vegas style sign.  They estimate it will be installed the first week in May.
     The sign is the first project toward revitalizing the Amphitheater.  Next the small western town will be refurbished and brought back to life just in time for the Crossover Event on June 11th -12th.  
    Lake Ozarks Amphitheater ‘s next event planned is the Lake Fest and Expo on June 24th -26th.  Southern Fun Carnival will be there along with Vendors and Exhibitors.  Live entertainment will be going on through out the event to get full use of the facility.   There will be a battle of the bands and a top name entertainer who is still to be announced.

1931 Troupe - Call for Actors

The 1931 Troupe, a theatre, arts, music & history community action group based in Lake Ozark is calling for actors to act as living history characters on the Bagnell Dam Strip during

Oma Noma Days May 15 & 16, 2010.  We are a volunteer group that seeks actors of all ages and sizes to populate the Bagnell Dam Strip with characters from 1931 - the year the Dam

was opened.  Oma Noma Days is a heritage festival celebrating the spirit and history of the individuals who were there at the beginning to make Lake of the Ozarks what it is today.

Be you advanced or beginner we will take you for an hour or two, a day, an evening or whatever amount of time suits you  We will costume you according to the dress of the early

1930s.  You can saunter down the Bagnell Dam Strip, sit/visit in our reenactment area, portray one of our workers or develop a more complex character from that time period.  We can

provide inspiration and direction.  Bring your whole family. We'll dress them all.

The Troupe was formed in 2006 and last year added "Hot Summer Nights" to our schedule of events.  Actors are also being called for this event to portray 1950s characters similar to

the film "Grease". Again all ages and sizes.  We already have a good group of young actors for this event. Join us.

To sign up do one of the following:

• Attend our outdoor potluck dinner 5-8pm with dinner at 6 on Thursday, April 8 on the Strip along the sidewalk from Casablanca on down (1300 block of Bagnell Dam Blvd)
• Attend one of our character/costume meetings. The first to be April 15th 6pm at Old Time Photos, 1321 Bagnell Dam Boulevard or call Trudie Bromet or Mary Van Houten at   573-365-5244

You don't have to attend a meeting to participate in the events. Looking forward to seeing all you talented people.
