Photo Coverage: First look at Pickerington Community Theatre's SOUTH PACIFIC
By: Jerri Shafer Jul. 07, 2016
South Pacific is a musical composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan. The plot centers on an American nurse stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II, who falls in love with a middle-aged expatriate French plantation owner but struggles to accept his mixed-race children. A secondary romance, between a U.S. lieutenant and a young Tonkinese woman, explores his fears of the social consequences should he marry his Asian sweetheart. The issue of racial prejudice is candidly explored throughout the musical, most controversially in the lieutenant's song, "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught". Supporting characters, including a comic petty officer and the Tonkinese girl's mother, help to tie the stories together.
The production won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Libretto, and it is the only musical production to win Tony Awards in all four acting categories.
South Pacific runs July 8 - July 17, 2016 at Heritage Elementary School, 100 N East St., Pickerington, OH. Tickets can be purchased online at http://pickeringtoncommunitytheatre.org/tickets/ or by calling 614-508-0036.
