October 7, 2016- The Endicott College Drama Club presents its fall musical revue, Lights of Broadway: Can’t Do it Alone, completely directed, acted, and produced by students! This production highlights numbers from various American Broadway Musicals, creating a completely original program featuring duets and small-group numbers. Audiences have two opportunities to see the show on Saturday, October 15, 2016, at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM in Tia’s Theater, Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts. Tickets are $10 for General Admission and free for Endicott ID holders. Reserve online at tickets.endicott.edu or call (978) 998-7700.
This year’s production benefits from the experience of its student directors, who have all directed before for Endicott and other student productions. Co-directors are masters student, Amy Kirsch, of Beverly, MA; senior, Alyssa Chamberlain, of Marlborough, MA; and junior, Kayleigh Barrucci, of Burlington, MA. They are assisted by senior, Lauren Holahan, of Londonderry, NH as music director, and sophomore, Diana Celularo, of Worcester as choreographer, both of whom are sought after for their skills in local schools and community theaters.
In the intimate Tia’s Theater, (a black box theater), audiences are up-close to the action and everyone feels the vitality of the young performers. Featuring songs from Grease, Book of Mormon, and Les Miserables, fully staged and choreographed with fun costumes and live accompaniment, this show is sure to bring a smile to all who see it.
