THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, JR. - Actor's Youth Theatre - July 27 - August 5, 2017

Music by Jeanine Tesori, Lyrics by Dick Scanlan
Book by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan
Based on the 1967 film

The winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie was the 2002 season's most awarded new show on Broadway! Based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film, Thoroughly Modern Millie takes you back to the height of the Jazz Age in New York City, when "moderns," including a flapper named Millie Dillmount, were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love. This high-spirited musical romp is a delightful valentine to the long-standing spirit of New York City and the people who seek to discover themselves there.

Set in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount from Kansas, who comes to New York in search of a new life for herself. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East, her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage and the man she actually falls in love with doesn't have a dime to his name... or so he tells her.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - Actor's Youth Theatre - June 23, 2017 - July 1, 2017

Book by Terrence McNally, Music and Lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman

Directed by Julie Clement

Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Catch Me If You Can is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams and not getting caught. Nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Musical, this delightfully entertaining show was created by a Tony Award-winning "dream team," with a book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager, Frank Abignale, Jr., runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer – living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. When Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, though, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes. Catch Me If You Can is a big and bright spectacle with high-energy dance numbers and a riveting story, making it an ideal choice for Community and Professional theatres. High School performers will enjoy portraying characters of a similar age and will relish the opportunity to sing Shaiman's and Wittman's sparkling new songs.

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, JR - Actor's Youth Theatre - May 11 - 20, 2017


Ages 8-13

Screenplay byBetty Comden Adolph Green
Songs byArthur Freed Nacio Herb Brown
Based on the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, Inc.

Directed by Tracie Jones

The "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time" is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, from their original award-winning screenplay in Singin' in the Rain. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals.

Singin' in the Rain has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item but, behind the scenes, things aren't always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in "talking pictures" without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.

THE (POSSIBLY) TRUE TALES OF LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD - Actor's Youth Theatre - March 2 - March 11, 2017

w
written and directed by Andrea McFeely
Ages 8-13.

You think you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood - but the Brothers Grimm barely scratched the surface! When that first Little Red vanquished the cunning wolf, she became the first in a line of brave Little Reds. Their stories travel a thrill-studded path from medieval England through upheavals in France and a mystery in Victorian London to the French Resistance. These Little Reds find themselves wandering off the straight and safe path and into history. Deceitful wolves, sprightly grandmothers, and heroic huntsmen accompany Little Reds in wild variations and together they form a fairy tale featuring the bravest, funniest Little Reds to ever trod a forest path...

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT - Actor's Youth Theatre - February 16 - February 25, 2017

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar's wife lands him in jail. When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

Directed by Tracie Jones

Performances: September 8-17, 2016
Based on the Paramount movie by Mike White
Book by Julian Fellowes
Lyrics by Glenn Slater
​Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

SCHOOL OF ROCK is a brand new musical based on the famous Paramount film written by
Mike White, which starred Jack Black. The musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe
rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Completely disinterested in academic work, Dewey decides to create his own curriculum, turning his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.
The stage musical on Broadway is produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who has composed 14
new songs to create a score, which also features all of the original songs from the movie.
SCHOOL OF ROCK, with its sensational live kids’ rock band, is a loving testimony to the
transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be with you!

Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows

Guys and Dolls JR. is an adaptation of the show considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. Its namesake ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950 and won numerous Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Set in Damon Runyon's New York City, Guys and Dolls JR. follows gambler, Nathan Detroit, as he tries to find the cash to set up the biggest crap game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years without ever getting married. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown. Guys and Dolls JR. takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, but everyone eventually ends up right where they belong.
