I keep meaning to post about the upcoming season for First Stage Theatre Company, but I've been holding off because the group plans to produce three shows - but hasn't made the final decision about what that third show will be.
When the decision is made (soon), I'll post the official notice. But what the heck - here are the other two shows that have already been selected:
- Peter Pan will take flight (literally) in late October / early November. The classic musical will be staged at the new Huntington High School, and will be directed by Mary Smirl and produced by Elaine Young. Watch for announcements - the auditions are coming up in late August. This show was a huge success for First Stage when the group first put it on about 10 years ago, and it offers lots of parts to a wide variety of ages - they'll need Lost Boys and Indians and Pirates and a bunch of other characters, too. It'll be a blast!
The second show is:
- A Year With Frog and Toad, the Broadway hit based on the famous children's books by Arnold Lobel. It was nominated for a 2003 Tony Award as Best Musical. Funny and uplifting, the family musical follows two great friends, the cheerful Frog and the grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Oh, and it's going to be directed by... what was his name again? Oh, yeah - me! I love this show and am looking forward to tackling it. Auditions will probably be early in January, and the show will probably take the stage in March, but the details are still being worked out. The cast won't be nearly as big as Peter Pan's, but there will be several parts for all ages.
What will the third show be? Inquiring minds want to know! But you'll still have to be patient a little longer. Sorry!
