Crystal Theatre to Present WHISTLEVILLE this Weekend Image

Crystal Theatre is set to present Whistleville this weekend! Performed by a talented cast of high school and adult actors and featuring Crystal Theatre's graduating senior class: Norwalk's Zachary Anderson, Katie Arpino, T.J. Boyrer, Alex Capogrosso, Catherine Colmenares, Julia Forschino, Zariya Paige and Wilton's Riley Sexton.

It is 1907 and Norwalk and South Norwalk are still individual towns, separated by jealousies and resentments which come to a head in a competition between the Norwalk Singing Club and the South Norwalk Singing Society.

Enter Irish immigrant, Kate O'Reilly and her friend Zsuzsi who have just witnessed the murder of Kate's husband, Timothy. They must now hide out from his murderer in South Norwalk where Zsuzsi's Hungarian family lives. Setting up a hat shop, Kate becomes embroiled in the intrigues of the competing local choruses who use her as bait in order to secure the services of local Italian super-tenor Aldo Salvatore.

Romance, comedy, secrets and murder combine in this tale that reveals the lives of Whistleville's (the Bouton St-Lexington Ave area of South Norwalk) Italian and Hungarian immigrant inhabitants as well as those of the uptown Norwalk establishment.


Crystal Theatre is a 501c3 not-for-profit performing arts school that has trained thousands of students ages 4 to 21 in musical performance techniques since 1987. Crystal Theatre has produced hundreds of shows for performers at all levels, from students to professionals. For more information visit www.crystaltheatre.org.
