Spreckels Theatre Company to Present BIG FISH this August
The critically acclaimed, award-winning Spreckels Theatre Company presents the North Bay premiere of the Broadway musical "Big Fish," based on the celebrated best selling novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film, directed by Tim Burton. Performances are Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Aug. 12 to Aug. 28, 2016.
The story begins when a young man endeavors to sort out fact from fiction regarding his father, Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman and charismatic teller of tall tales. The musical flashes back as it follows the father's mythological adventures. With music, dancing, eccentric characters and spectacular surprises, Edward Bloom's fantastical fables take his son and audiences on a magical journey that finds truth in the impossible.
The production stars Darryl Strohl-DeHerrera as Edward Bloom, Heather Buck as Sandra Bloom and Mark Bradbury as Will Bloom and features Bobby Finney as Karl the Giant, Larry Williams as Amos Calloway, Katee Drysdale as Josephine, Jordan Martin as Young Will, Serena Elize Flores as the Witch, Shawna Eiermann as Jenny Hill, Dwayne Stincelli as Dr. Bennett, Nate Mercier as Don Price and Roy Kitaoka as Zacky Price.
This main stage production, directed by Gene Abravaya, is presented with the new Paradyne projection system, developed by Spreckels Performing Arts Center, combining still images and animations to create multiple backdrop effects - creating a visual aesthetic that's exciting and visually surprising for audiences of the 21st Century.
