It was an original music and comedy variety show done in the style of "Hee Haw," done in collaboration with Commerce-based (but nationally renowned) singer-songwriters Brad Davis and Joel Weaver. Since its launch in 2019, GTW has put on a variety of productions, including the four the company did in its debut year: "Steel Magnolias," "The Odd Couple," "Noises Off," and "It's a Wonderful Life." In 2020, restrictions due to COVID slowed things down for the company, but they still managed to put on a remotely viewable production, "Yee Haw," in November of that year. "The board members and I discussed a lot of ideas for a show, and we eventually chose 'Harvey,' because it's one that a lot of people should know, because of the James Stewart movie, it's funny, it's kind of a classic, it's a good fit for our stage, and it uses a small cast that's a good mix of parts for both men and women."
"This will actually be the first of our last two shows at the GMA before Greenville Theatre Works finds its own venue," McBay said. A six foot, three-and-a-half inch tall rabbit is rumored to soon be making an appearance at Greenville’s own municipal auditorium (GMA) this spring. He was also recently elected president of GTW's board of directors. Pip Bickford (third from left, holding script) of Greenville Theatre Works leads an audition for the company’s production of It’s a Wonderful Life in 2019. It will also be the first production of GTW's in which GMA manager Micah McBay will serve as producer. The production is to be directed by GTW founder Pip Bickford and frequent collaborator and actress Britney Spindle.
