freeFall Announces Cast of THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA

By: Tyler Peterson May. 18, 2016

freeFall's upcoming production of THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA opens June 18 and runs through July 17. This lush, deeply romantic contemporary musical follows Margaret and her daughter Clara on their visit to Florence in the summer of 1953. A chance meeting between Clara and a handsome young Florentine sets both of their hearts ablaze. As Margaret attempts to shield their daughter from the outside world we become aware that all is not as it seems, and we are left to ponder the nature of love, desire, regret, and ultimately the beauty of life.

Melissa Minyard (Broadway's LES MISERABLES, Carbonell Award Winner) stars as Margaret. FreeFall resident company members Nick Lerew and Kelly Pekar, as Fabrizio and Clara, will join Minyard. The cast also features Jennifer Byrne (EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL), Stephan James Jones, Robert Teasdale, Elizabeth Sackett and Joshua Romero.

The production team includes Michael Raabe (Musical Director) and LeAnn Alduenda (Choreographer). Charles Murdock Lucas designs the sets (freeFall's PETER AND THE STARCATCHER), Costumes will be designed by David Covach (TTB Award winner for Best Costume Design for freeFall's MAME) and lighting will be designed by Ryan Finzelber.

Tickets can be obtained by contacting the freeFall box office. There are discounts for seniors, teachers, students and members of the military. Rush tickets available for students and members of Actor's Equity Association (id required). Group rates and information can be obtained by contacting Matthew at 727-498-5205 X 7.
