Castillo Theatre Announces License to Dream 4/29-6/5
By: Gabrielle Sierra
The Castillo Theatre (Dan Friedman, artistic director, Diane Stiles, managing director) is opening FrEd Newman and David Truskinoff's musical LICENSE TO DREAM, Friday, April 29 and running through Sunday, June 5 with an official press preview on Thursday, April 28, directed by David Nackman and choreographed by Javier Dzul.
License to Dream brings together nine inner-city youth and six professional modern dancer/aerialists from the acclaimed Dzul Dance company. This provocative musical is set at a summer dance camp for underprivileged kids, "Camp Development", in the Hamptons. Neither the underpaid dance counselors nor the poor campers want to be there, and certainly not with each other. With songs by Newman-Truskinoff and choreography by Javier Dzul, sparks fly when East New York meets East Hampton. Though only 90 miles apart, the distance between those who dream and those who have no reason to, requires more than a bridge to connect them. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. April 29 through June 5 (with no performances Memorial Day weekend). Tickets are $35 for adults, $10 for students and seniors. Group rates are available. Tickets can be purchased through the Castillo Box Office at 212-941-1234 or go to www.castillo.org.Videos
