DAMES AT SEA is a heartfelt parody of 1930s Hollywood musicals, capturing the spirit of the era with flair. The story follows Ruby, an aspiring Broadway performer, as she navigates the challenges of putting on a musical aboard a ship after their theater is set to be demolished. Melody Rowland stars as Ruby, alongside Beck Hokanson as Dick, Ciara Jarvis as Mona, and Elizabeth Bushell as Joan. Directed and choreographed by Gregg Dennhardt, this production brings the charm and nostalgia of classic musicals to life at Citadel Theatre.
