Seasonal affective disorder starts to affect all of us this time of year. To combat our SAD symptoms, we can use special lights, take vitamin D, or move to a tropical island. However, I think it’s at least worth a try to take in a fabulous musical comedy before I start shopping for Bermuda shorts.  I’ll have the opportunity to do just that this month in The Studio Theater at The Center of the Performing Arts when “Pete ‘n’ Keely” opens.

The show centers on Pete and Keely reuniting for a television special that’s meant to capitalize on their former success as a singing duo.  The only possible issue: the two haven’t said a word to each other since their explosive break-up five years ago. Will they fall in love all over again, or will they end up on tabloid covers in handcuffs? Either way, the show must go on, and you’ll have to come to the show to see how it all works out.

The production is brought to us by Actors Theatre of Indiana, and is underwritten by Bose McKinney & Evans, LLP.  Judy Fitzgerald, who also stars as ATI Co-founder and Associate Artistic Director, and Michael Ehlers will play the leads in this variety-show-inspired musical.

The show runs until Nov. 23. Tickets are available through the website: actorstheatreofindiana.org, or by phone at 843-3800. In addition to supporting the arts, come support your mood.

“It’s hysterical! The music is fantastic. I hate to keep saying it, but it’s just fun!” Fitzgerald said.

If you remember loving Lucy and Desi, Sonny and Cher, or  “The Carol Burnett Show” you’ll be in for a nostalgic treat. If not, you can fall in love with the music, the jokes, and the comaraderie of that era in entertainment for the first time.
