Book and Blanket Players present Meet Me in St Louis (July 13)
EVENT DETAILS:
July 13, 3:00 pm
Keene Central School
TThe Book & Blanket Players have been producing youth musicals-in-a-week summer theatre for 15 years in Keene Valley. This year the theatrical adventure continues with the classic family musical Meet Me in St. Louis. The cast of eight-to-eighteen year olds and the production team are eager to share this feel-good musical with familiar songs from the movie musical like, “The Trolley Song,” “The Boy Next Door,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. But the stage musical includes more merriment with songs like “A Touch of the Irish,” “The Banjo,” and “Whenever I’m With You.”
The production team includes vocal coach-master class teacher, Alisa Endsley. Ms. Endsley is known in the Broadway community. She has worked with some of the biggest names on Broadway including composer Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Director Trevor Nunn, Tony wining actors Patti Lupone, George Hearn and Betty Buckley. Other members of the creative team are Annie Scavo, Maddy Runyon, Lia Loomis, Kim Peralta, and the Players founder Kathy Recchia.
This is the 15th year for the Players to take on the musical-in-a-week format. They began with the musical Mirette followed by the first incarnation of the original musical Road to Dannemora. Other productions have included 1776, Lend Me a Tenor, the Musical, and the original theatrical/film: Piano Portal, an original musical of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, Little Women, and last year’s original Everyone Loves Camping.
The show is free, donations will be gratefully accepted.
