Bright Lights at Seven Angels

Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury CT presented their annual Bright Lights performances this weekend at the theatre in Hamilton Park. The theme of this year’s 22nd anniversary production was Angels in the Outfield. Bright Lights is an uplifting and positive program that lets young performers ages 10-18 perform songs, dances, and skits in a professional environment as it fosters their love for theatre. Seven Angels believes that the show produces passionate, professional young performers. In that spirit, this year’s show included three Bright Lights “All Star” alumni in the show.

The production team for Bright Lights included Mandy Leigh Thompson as both the writer and director, Leah Juliett as her assistant and Paul Tine as musical director. Brandon Cook was production and technical director, Nina Paganucci served as choreographer with Brianna Cavallo as her assistant, and Matt Martin as sound designer. The orchestra included Mark Ryan on percussion and Mr. Tine on keyboard. The scenery was painted by Dan Husvar and he also did the props.
