A CHORUS LINE Ends Run at Village Players Theater, 4/18

Village Players Theater will end its run of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical "A Chorus Line" on its Mainstage as part of its New American Classics on April 18th.

" A Chorus Line" revolutionized the standards of Broadway musicals with its unique story amd structure. Zach and Larry are ready to cast for their next upcoming Broadway production, but Zach decides to change up things at the audition. He asks the dancers to introduce themselves. As each one hopes to become part of a singular group, they all tell their individual life stories that make them all very different. This musical shows how unity is made more beautiful by the individuality we cherish.

Connell, Danielle Coody, Erin Elle East, Stephanie Foster, Taylor Hopkins, Reneisha Jenkins, Bobby Johnson, Kim Kass, Samuel Ladd, Alex McCray, Will Nifong, Synell Owen, Michael Patterson, DeWayne Perkins, Casiena Rather, Janell Rinne, Jennifer Shine, Kristen Smiley and Garrett Stibb.
