On Stage This Week: "Norman Rockwell's America Paradise"

Back by popular demand, CYAC is presenting an original show based on the wonderful paintings of Norman Rockwell.

This weekend is your last chance to catch this excellent show - here's the info:

The Contemporary Youth Arts Company proudly announces the return of Dan Kehde and Mark Scarpelli's original nostalgic musical, NORMAN ROCKWELL's AMERICAN PARADISE, an endearing look at the nation in simpler times through the eyes of the beloved American painter, illustrator and creator of hundreds of iconic covers for the classic Saturday Evening Post.

Relive the golden years of America as nearly 40 singers, dancers and actors of all ages bring to life 28 of Rockwell'’s best known, best remembered works of art covering five decades of 20th century Americana, including The Four Freedoms, The Right To Know, Saying Grace, Disciplinary Action, The Check-Up, The Plumbers, The Barbershop Quartet, and many more. With songs shadowing the musical styles from the '20s to the '70s, NORMAN ROCKWELL's AMERICAN PARADISE conjures the comfort and simplicity of the America of our parents and grandparents.

This show is family friendly, and is suitable and entertaining for all ages, children through grandparents (and great-grand parents).

Show run at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 21- 23 at the WVSU Capitol Center Theater at 123 Summers Street in Charleston.

Tickets available at the door - $6.00 for students and seniors and $10.00 for adults.

Call 342-6522 for reservations or more information.

I saw the show the last time CYAC staged it and I loved it - highly recommended!
