"Cinderella" in St. Michaels

"Cinderella" the musical
includes beautiful
and comical songs

Starts July 19

St Michaels High School
on Seymour Avenue

 St Michaels Community Center presents the timeless musical comedy, "Cinderella" by Rogers & Hammerstein opening July 19 in St Michaels. 

 "Cinderella" is the only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical written for television and was broadcast live in 1957 starring Julie Andrews.  It was remade for television in 1965 starring Leslie Ann Warren and again in 1997 starring Brandy.  Hammerstein was interviewed about the adaptation: "We want the kids who see it to recognize the story they know. Children can be very critical on that score. But, of course, their parents will be watching too, so we have tried to humanize the characters without altering the familiar plot structure.”

 The production includes beautiful and comical songs such as “Ten Minutes Ago I Saw You,” “Impossible; It’s Possible,” “Stepsisters Lament,” “In My Own Little Corner,” and “The Prince is Giving a Ball.”

 This production of "Cinderella" is co-directed by Trish Payne and Meg Ingold. "For me, I enjoy the magic and childlike wonder of stories like "Cinderella." I love a show with one of those "happy ever after" endings. It's all about the silliness and great music and having fun with each other while working on creating a great show that'll leave the audience smiling. And Meg is probably one of the few people whose instincts and opinions I value as much as my own,” says Payne.

"The Women" 

Oxford, Maryland
Opening May 3
 Tred Avon Players presents the sophisticated comedy of "The Women" by Clare Boothe Luce, opening May 3.
 Director Tom Quimby reprises the all-time, standing room only TAP hit of 1990.
 Based on the 1936 play and the 1939 movie starring Norma Shearer, Rosalind Russell, Marjorie Main, Joan Fontaine, Hedda Hopper, and Joan Crawford, "The Women" follows the lives of a circle of wealthy Manhattan women and their story of marital conflict, friendships, and coping with changing values and lifestyles.
 It’s a classic portrayal of the fairer sex meeting the challenges of love, rivalry and self-fulfillment during the beginning of women’s liberation.

Jazzy Christmas!

A Charlie Brown Christmas/
Eric Byrd Trio

Saturday, December 17, 2011
1pm-3pm
Avalon Theatre, Easton

 Aside from that humble little Christmas tree in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" that ends up teaching everyone what the holidays are really all about, perhaps the most memorable thing about Charles Schultz's beloved animated program is Vince Guaraldi's jazzy soundtrack.
 If you love the story and the music that make this heartwarming cartoon so special, you'll want to bring the whole family to the Avalon Theatre for a showing of the timeless classic followed by a live, updated performance of the show's music by the Eric Byrd Trio.
