Directed by Andrew g. Bobola
Musical Direction by Ron Procopio
Choreography by Timothy Reid
The Community Players continue their 91st season with Al Dubin and Harry Warren's toe-tapping musical, 42nd Street. Set in Depression-era New York, 42nd Street spins the classic showbiz tale of a young, starry-eyed chorus girl hoping to join the cast of her first Broadway show. When fading star Dorothy Brock breaks her ankle onstage, director Julian Marsh plucks young Peggy Sawyer out of the chorus and makes her a star. This delightful musical is filled with rousing dance numbers and wonderful musical gems, including Lullaby of Broadway, We're in the Money, Shuffle Off to Buffalo and, of course, 42nd Street. Winner of the 1981 Tony Award for Best Musical.

Little Theatre of Fall River presents A Few Good Men
Little Theatre of Fall River will present the riveting drama, A Few Good Men, at the Jackson Performing Arts Center at Bristol Community College in Fall River from March 8 to the 11th. Performances are Thursday at 7:30, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m.
The movie version of the play, which opened in 1992, starred Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Keefer Sutherland, and Kevin Bacon. Both play and movie were written by Aaron Sorkin, who won the Academy Award last year for the screenplay of Social Network and was nominated again this year for Moneyball. He has also won numerous Emmys for his writing on the TV series, The West Wing.
According to director Kathy Castro, the story is as relevant today as when Sorkin wrote it. "We are constantly put to the test of standing for our beliefs. Sometimes, we do - sometimes we don't. But in this story, Sorkin shows us what can happen when a few good men (and women) give light to the truth and let it shine. It is a masterful piece of writing and a great story. I hope the audience will find it as moving and inspiring as I have."
Starring as Lieut. Daniel Kaffee is John Wright, with Chris Mac as Lieut. Col. Nathan Jessup, and Pamela Morgan as Lieut. Commander Jo Galloway. Also featured in the cast are Raymond Almeida, Jr., Jeff Belanger, Ron Caisse, Joe Chambrello, Charles Lafond, Mario Moniz, Tyler Rowe, and Mark D. Viveiros.

A Few Good Men is sponsored by Bay Coast Bank and the Fall River Cultural Council as administered by the Mass Cultural Council. It is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. New York City.

VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT TICKETS
MATUNUCK, RI – Looking for a unique gift for your Valentine? Why not give the gift of live theatre with a Gift Ticket to Theatre By The Sea! Gift Tickets are the perfect gift for anyone, allowing the recipient to choose a convenient date and time to see their favorite show. What a great way to impress your sweetheart! Your thoughtful, distinctive gift can be enjoyed during the relaxation of the summer months for any of the following must-see musicals being presented by Ocean State Theatre Company during their 2012 Summer Season at Theatre By The Sea:
Forever Plaid
June 1 - June 17 (Preview Performances May 30 & 31)
One of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory, this deliciously goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1950s on the way to their first big concert. Miraculously they are revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was. The “Plaids”
sing great nostalgic pop hits of the ‘50s in the closest of harmony, squabble boyishly over the smallest intonations, and execute charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision. Songs includes, “Heart and Soul,” “Three Coins in a Fountain,” “16 Tons,” and many others.
The Sound of Music
June 22 - July 14 (Preview Performances June 20 & 21)
Set in Austria in 1938, this Rodgers and Hammerstein musical follows the adventures of a high-spirited young novice Who is ill-fitted for the life of the convent. Sent to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval officer, Maria wins their hearts (and his) with her exuberant love of life. The family's attempt to escape from the Nazis is one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented onstage. This beloved family classic features a glorious score including “My Favorite Things,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.” and “The Sound of Music.”
9 to 5: The Musical
July 20 - August 11 (Preview Performances July 18 & 19)
OSTC is excited to present another Rhode Island Premiere! This hilarious musical based on the popular movie tells the story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era, when three unlikely friends and co-workers conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do -- even in a man's world. Featuring a score written by Dolly Parton, this musical is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic. 9 to 5: The Musical is about teaming up and taking care of business... it's about getting credit and getting even... it’s about livin’ and “workin’ 9 to 5!”
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
August 17 – September 2 (Preview Performances August 15 & 16)
From the authors of Guys and Dolls comes one of the most delightfully irreverent musicals of all time. A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as he aggressively compliant "company man," the boss' whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.
Subscriptions for the 2012 Summer Season are also available. Subscribers enjoy discounted rates with two different options. The Premiere Subscription allows subscribers to choose the best seats, while saving over single ticket prices. The Flexible Passport provides four “seats” which can be used in any combination – one ticket for four shows on different nights, two tickets for two different shows or any other combination imaginable. The choice is yours… or theirs!

Special Early Bird Duet and Trio Subscription Discount Packages Available Through December 31, 2011
WALTHAM – Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston will melt away 2012’s winter chill with a dazzling three-show concert series featuring Broadway’s Rachel York and Brent Barrett and the legendary star of stage and screen, Mitzi Gaynor. York and Barrett, critically acclaimed co-stars in the Tony Award-winning revival of “Kiss Me, Kate” filmed for PBS, reunite for an exclusive Reagle Music Theatre concert “Isn’t It Romantic?” on February 19. Gaynor, the legendary Hollywood, television and Las Vegas sensation perhaps best known for her unforgettable portrayal as Nellie Forbush in the movie musical “South Pacific,” sparkles in “Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins” on April 15. Reagle’s annual celebration of all things Emerald, “A Little Bit of Ireland,” also returns for its 14th edition March 16-18 for four performances.
Through December 31, Reagle Music Theatre is offering special Early Bird duet and trio discount packages at 20% and 30% off the regular single ticket price. Patrons purchasing the three-show series by December 31 will realize savings up to $66.
“Isn’t It Romantic?” features two of Broadway’s brightest stars singing favorite love songs from the stage and screen. In this musical Valentine to love and laughter set for February 19, Drama Desk Award winner Rachel York (City of Angels, Les Misérables, Victor/Victoria) and Olivier Award nominee Brent Barrett (Chicago, Annie Get Your Gun, Phantom of the Opera) rekindle the sizzle and spark that stole London’s and America’s hearts as the battling but still so-in-love exes in “Kiss Me, Kate.”
York, well known to Boston audiences for her touring and pre-Broadway performances in “Kiss Me, Kate,” “Sly Fox,” and “The 101 Dalmatians Musical,” has earned back-to-back IRNE Awards for her starring roles in Reagle’s “Hello, Dolly!” and “Into the Woods.” Currently she is starring as Anna Leonowens in “The King and I” in Philadelphia. Barrett has charmed local theater-goers in recent productions of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at the Cape Playhouse and North Shore Music Theatre. He returns to the long-running Broadway production of “Chicago” as the fast-talking Billy Flynn on December 19.
Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins is an “intimate evening of laughs, love and music” with movie legend and triple threat superstar Mitzi Gaynor. This unforgettable love letter to a great era of show business is part concert and part memoir – a glittering multimedia one woman tour-de-force of side-splitting stories and classic songs, along with stunning video footage culled from her television, concert and film work. The New York Times has called Mitzi Gaynor “an all-time great.” She has performed “Razzle Dazzle!” to sold-out audiences across the country, including an acclaimed engagement at Feinstein’s at the Regency in New York City.
During her decades-spanning career, Gaynor has earned 17 Emmy nominations, an Entertainer of the Year Award, three Lifetime Achievement awards, and a Golden Globe nomination for her star-making turn as Nellie Forbush in the movie musical “South Pacific.” Gaynor is making her Boston area premiere with “Razzle Dazzle!” on April 15.
