The White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) presents the first New York professional production of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME onstage from December 22 January 14.

With a sense of the sweeping epic about it and a darkly romantic story to tell The Hunchback of Notre Dame ( a new musical based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney film ) offers an intriguing retelling of the story of Quasimodo, the hideously deformed and often reviled bellringer at Paris' Notre Dame cathedral, and Esmeralda, the fiery, passionate gypsy temptress with whom he becomes infatuated. Although set in the late 15th century, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, what with its themes of religious zealotry and bias and prejudice against an ethnic minority, remains eerily prescient and perhaps frighteningly contemporary given the tenor of the times in which we live.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME runs through November 12 at Circle Players Theatre! See photos of Tyler Evick as Quasimodo and Courtney Harkins as Esmerelda!

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is not a typical Disney stage creation. It is a dark, brooding musical and probably not appropriate for children. While the first act is rather slow, the second act is strong. It is well worth seeing.

Final bows for two musicals while RABBIT HOLE opens up and HUNCHBACK keeps singing!

A spectacular performance with first rate acting, singing, directing, choreography, and lighting brings a classic story to the stage, a story that touches on the equal humanity of all people, and the call to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of every one of God's children, demonstrating that truth by treating each other with love and decency. THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME can have a far reaching positive impact on its audience members and is highly recommended.

It's a busy weekend for theatre in the Capital City!
