SOUTH: A NAUTICAL MUSICAL to Set Sail at Bridge Street Theatre This July
The original musical will run from July 24 to August 3 in Catskill, NY.
Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, NY will welcome the world premiere of South: A Nautical Musical from July 24 through August 3, 2025.
With book, music, and lyrics by Carmen Borgia and direction and choreography by Timothy Dakin-Dunn, South follows a whimsically adventurous voyage across oceans, islands, and emotional territory. The production features an 8-piece live band and an ensemble of local and New York-based performers.
"This casting process was fascinating — every single one of these actors walked into the room and just popped with electricity," said director Timothy Dakin-Dunn. "We saw so many talented folks, but this cast? These folks are funny. And smart. And deeply thoughtful performers. And the voices — I'm talking Broadway-quality vocals all day long! I'm honestly a little afraid we're going to blow the roof off Bridge Street Theatre!
