ABRHS PROSCENIUM CIRCUS PRESENTS SWEET CHARITY, Opening January 30th!

ABRHS Proscenium Circus Presents SWEET CHARITY – Jan 30-Feb 7

Proscenium Circus (PC) is the student theater of Acton-Boxborough Regional High School, under the direction of drama teacher/advisor Michael Lopez. We are excited to present the winter musical: Sweet Charity, with choreography by Maria LaRossa, Musical Direction by Steven Bass and directed by Michael Lopez.

Sweet Charity is a modern classic of the late 1960’s. This mod and jazzy show is sometimes saucy, sometimes sweet and features the hit songs “Big Spender” and “If My Friends Could See Me Now.”

Charity works as a taxi dancer at the Fan-Dango Ballroom and has the worst luck in choosing the right man. But once she meets Oscar, it seems as if her luck might change. From the seediness of the Fan-Dango to the posh Pompeii Club and even to the Church of the Rhythm of Life (located in an underground parking garage), we follow Sweet Charity as she hopes and dreams and searches for love.

With a book by Neil Simon and originally directed and choreographed for Broadway by
Bob Fosse, this tender, poignant, and funny musical will have you grooving in your seat as you experience all of Charity’s adventures. Music by Cy Coleman; Lyrics by
Dorothy Fields and based on the original screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Plaiano.

The shows are: Jan 30, 31, Feb. 6, 7 at 7:30 pm; and Feb 1, 7 at 3:00 pm.

Tickets available at Roche Bros (Acton), Red White & Brew (West Acton), MKTix.com

and at the door. Evening shows $18; Matinees $14.
