Continuing our history of Huntington's community theatre groups, we turn the spotlight on the group that was very productive during its short run:
The group known as CUP (Curtains Up Players) 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 presented more than a dozen 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 Shrek: the Musical.
It's been a couple of years since the group's last show, so they may have shut down - or they may still be plotting their return!
They were a hard-working, experienced and ambitious group of veterans - hopefully they'll return for a future performance!
Next: A higher cause!
