The Marietta Theatre Company will close its 2024 season with the musical comedy "Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville" from November 7 to 16. According to the City of Marietta's official website, attendees can enjoy a blend of humor and Buffett's hits like "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville," all woven into a story about life's important choices and their consequences.
Director Rachel Rudd is excited about the uplifting spirit of the show, noting that bringing a lighthearted and funny production to life is a perfect way to close the 2024 season at MTC.
