James and Lissa Reynolds, Artistic Directors of their quaint and historic Fremont Centre Theatre in South Pasadena celebrate the beginning of the Fifth Anniversary Season with a repeat of the hit 1997 inaugural production of an original play, THREE SONGS, by William Mesnik, directed by Michael Canavan . 

THREE SONGS played to rave reviews and wildly appreciative audiences during its initial extended run. The current production of THREE SONGS is also directed by Michael Canavan with author William Mesnik as musical director and starring Jennifer Hetrick as Kathy; Stephen Rockwell as Fred; and Ken Story as Curly. They comprised the musical trio who enjoyed past fame as The Calendars, but silenced and separated by ideological differences for over 7 years. Now they come together once again to select and agree on three songs to play at a televised Calendars reunion concert. Can it be a reunion concert? 

The husband and wife musical team of Fred and Kathy refused to sign the loyalty oath during the Hollywood blacklisting era forcing them to eke out a living in the hills of West Virginia playing camps and rallies while Curly maintained a spiraling successful Hollywood solo career unhampered by ideological conflicts and refusals. HOW and IF this talented group will be able to reunite both in concert and belief provides a powerful, fascinating evening of theatre interspersing drama with traditional folk music. 

During its original inaugural production at the Fremont Centre Theatre in 1997 critics termed THREE SONGS  "great theatre. . . "flawless". . . "magnificent". . . "powerful".  . . "emotionally fulfilling". . . and the audience came away with a toe-tapping experience not soon to be forgotten.  This revival is a fitting tribute to the discovery of original works and  the re-discovery of often overlooked works which has been the mission of the Fremont Centre Theatre during its five year history.
