The Show: The famously large-nosed Cyrano is in love with Roxanne. She, in turn, adores Christian. What Cyrano lacks in beauty he makes up for with his artful words and their effect on the heart of the woman he loves. Christian, though handsome beyond words, can barely form a sentence without the help of his friend Cyrano. The two are bound by one thing: their love for Roxanne. They conspire to work together to create the perfect man - one with Cyrano's romantic and thoughtful words and Christian's dashing features. Will Roxanne fall in love with a face or the words behind it? This unique adaptation of the French classic CYRANO DE BERGERAC uses just three actors and one musician to retell a romantic and poetic story in a theatrically exciting, refreshing new setting.
Tim Abrahamsen (Cyrano), Jonathan Self (Christian, DeGuiche & others) and Kelly Pekar (Roxanne & others) from the Bruce E. Coyle Intern Company will appear in CYRANO, as well as local percussionist and composer Grant Cambridge.Education Director Mark Lutwak directs.
