Plymouth resident and Canton grad stars in Croswell's "Mamma Mia"

Lindsay Powers of Plymouth, a 2012 graduate of Canton High School, is playing a lead role in the musical “Mamma Mia” at the Croswell Opera House in Adrian.

The musical, which was adapted into a movie in 2008, features 23 songs by Swedish pop group Abba. Powers plays Sophie, a young woman who invites three of her mother’s ex-lovers to her wedding in an effort to find out which of them is her father.

While in high school, Powers was involved in the Park Players Theatre Company, Festival Singers and Madrigals. She also has performed with Forever After Productions and the Plymouth-Canton Ballet Company, and last summer was a member of the apprentice company at The Barn Theatre School in Augusta.

She attended Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, graduating in 2016 with a BFA in music theater performance.

The Croswell is a 640-seat historic theater in downtown Adrian. More than 200 performers from across southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio auditioned for roles in the theater’s 2018 summer season, which also includes the musicals “She Loves Me” and “Barnum.”

The Croswell’s production of “Mamma Mia” opens June 15 and runs through July 1. More information is available at croswell.org.
