MTG Concludes 14th Season with Ring Festival's DAS BARBECÜ 6/14
By: Gabrielle Sierra
The award-winning Musical Theatre Guild, a company of professional performers who present concert-staged readings of seldom seen musicals, will conclude its 14th season with a very special Ring Festival LA production: DAS BARBECÜ. The one night only event will take place on Monday, June 14, 2010 at 7:30 PM at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale.
An official participant in the Ring Festival LA, this Off-Broadway hit is set in various locations throughout present day Texas. It is very loosely based on Richard Wagner's massive four-part 20-hour Ring Cycle, but manages to neatly (and hysterically) compress the story into a rollicking two-hour musical comedy with a country and western score. Opera-lovers and opera-haters alike should be ready to kick back, laugh and have a good 'ol toe-tapping time. DAS BARBECÜ is also a featured event in the 2010 Festival of New American Musicals.DAS BARBECÜ will star MTG members Stuart Ambrose, Melissa Fahn, Pamela Hamil, Gordon Goodman and Shauna Markey. The musical will be directed by Ken Sawyer, with musical direction by Ed Martel and Christopher Callen serving as MTG production coordinator.The Alex Theatre is located at 216 North Brand Blvd in Glendale. Tickets are available at the Alex Theatre box office, or by calling 818-243-ALEX.
The Musical Theatre Guild's 15th Anniversary 2010-2011 season will open in September 2010 and includes: 70, GIRLS, 70; HELLO AGAIN; ONE TOUCH OF VENUS; LITTLE ME and BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL.
