Continuing our history of Huntington's community theatre groups, we turn the spotlight on the group that's only been around for four years - but they've been very productive:
The newest theatre group in town is known as CUP (Curtains Up Players).
The newest theatre group in town is known as CUP (Curtains Up Players).
It was first organized in 2010 under the name Pullman Players, with the original purpose of bringing crowds to the Pullman Plaza Hotel.
Under the guidance of Debbie Wolfe, Shayne Gue, Paul Neace and Marina Jurica (among others), the group staged four shows at Pullman - and then broke away to form an independent group, changing its name to CUP.
Relocating to the Jeslyn Theatre (the former Camelot Theatre), CUP has presented 10 shows, from small non-musicals like How I Learned to Drive, concert performances like Night of 100 Tonys, and big musicals like Avenue Q and last September’s Shrek: the Musical.
They’re in the process of putting together their 2014 lineup, so look for that announcement soon!
CUP may be the new kid on the block, but they’re a hard-working, experienced and ambitious group of veterans - we can expect great things from them!
Next: A higher cause!
