Barrington Stage Company to Present Staged Reading of PRESTO CHANGE-O, 7/27-28; Marc Bruni to Direct

Barrington Stage Company, the award-winning theatre in Downtown Pittsfield, MA, under the leadership of Artistic Director Julianne Boyd and Managing Director Tristan Wilson, presents the BSC Musical Theatre Lab (William Finn Artistic Producer and Julianne Boyd Artistic Director) staged reading of a new musical, Presto Change-O, on July 27 and 28 at the St. Germain Stage at the Sydelle and Lee Blatt Performing Arts Center.

Presto Change-O is an original musical about three generations of illusionists-and the woman who loves all of them-as they learn to co-exist, make amends, and reconcile what is truth and illusion in their own lives.

Directed by Marc Bruni (Beautiful), Presto Change-O features music by Joel Waggoner, with book and lyrics by Eric Price. Matt Gallagher is musical director.

The cast of Presto Change-O features Burke Moses (Kiss Me, Kate; Disney's Beauty and the Beast), Fred Applegate (Sting's The Last Ship), Dan DeLuca, Stephen DeRosa (Betrayal), Lora Lee Gayer (Follies), and Carol Linnea Johnson (Mamma Mia!).

Presto Change-O will be presented Sunday 7pm; Monday 2pm at the St. Germain Stage at the Sydelle and Lee Blatt Performing Arts Center, 36 Linden Street Pittsfield. Tickets: $15 reserved seating. Call the Box Office at 413-236-8888 or order online at www.barringtonstageco.org.

Presto Change-O was commissioned through the generosity of Carole & Daniel Burack and is part of BSC's Musical Theatre Lab/New Works Initiative.
