FHCT Youth Theater Presents 45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY, 8/27-9/12
The Fountain Hills Community Theater (11445 N. Saguaro Blvd., Fountain Hills) and its Youth Theater presents the opening production of their 2010-2011 Season, 45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY, from Friday, August 27th to Sunday, September 12th. Times are Fridays and Saturdays at 7PM and Sunday at 2PM. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under.
45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY, as adapted by June Walker Rogers, features the irresistible excitement of George M. Cohan's music. "Let's do a musical!" is the cry from the members of the school's drama club. The problem is which one? This dilemma is solved by the appearance of an old theatrical trunk filled with the memorabilia of early show-business days. These include some George M. Cohan props, his derby straw hat and cane and a script of 45 Minutes from Broadway. Miss Templeton, the teacher, and Jason, the student director, guide the cast through the auditions, casting and presentation of the old Cohan musical. This is an example of a show within a show, complete with such rousing George M. Cohan numbers as "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Give My Regards to Broadway" and "You're a Grand Old Flag."
45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY is produced by Anne Kelleher and directed by Ross Collins, with musical direction by Miciah Dodge and choreography by Noël Irick. The cast includes Logan Barrett, Darby Bates, Will Bates, Skye Leigh Brewster, Sammi Briggs, Devin Derr, Chris Disney, Nick Disney, Jodie Grief, Peyton Jordan, Natalie Kilker, Haylee Klein, Andrey Lull, Jessica Miller, Elysha Nemeth, Christopher Scott, Ryan Smith, Trista Smith, Austin Staten, and Shaye Stewart. Tech crew includes Elena Bornacini and Katie Male.
Fountain Hills Community Theater is a non-profit, community organization dedicated to providing live, quality theatre experiences to the people of Fountain Hills, Rio Verde, Tonto Verde, North Scottsdale and the Fort McDowell Indian community.
