THE FANTASTICKS Opens At PLP, Helps Families In Need

Point Loma Playhouse wraps its 2019 season with The Fantasticks by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt.

The Fantasticks is directed by Jerry Pilato, with musical direction by Nina Gilbert, special choreography designed by George Bailey, set and lighting designed by Jay Maloney. The cast includes: Kaivan Ameen, Heather Armstrong, Sky Molina, Brian Evans, Tom Fitzpatrick, Richard Rivera, Ryan Nebreja and Madeline Tamlove.
