DATE SET, BOX OFFICE OPENS FOR TTE TRIBUTE TO DIRECTOR RICK BODICK

The Troy Theatre Ensemble--Troy High School’s thespian group—is in rehearsals and has announced the box office opening for their tribute to theatre director Rick Bodick, who passed away in August. “Ovation” will be a celebration of Bodick's 34-year legacy on November 2nd at 7 pm at Troy High School. It will be a musical tribute starring current TTE members and alumni performing selections from many of Bodick’s award-winning productions through the years. Tony award-winner and TTE alumna Sutton Foster will headline the celebration, and will be joined by current students and other alumi including Dan Clay, Jim Daly, Lauren Molina, Corey Roberts, Kathleen McDonald Bakhtiari, Christy McDonald, Tyler Bouque, Annie Rowbal, Jordan Held, Michael Baxter as well as many local alums joining in to honor Bodick, who was director for the TTE since 1986.

“This is a herculean task, to arrange an event so monumental,” said Troy High Principal Remo Roncone. “I’m extremely pleased with the work of our directors (Personal Communications teacher Harriet Clark and Director of Troy Choirs Adrienne Covian) as they have poured countless hours, energy, and emotions into putting together a very special show to pay tribute to the amazing career of Mr. Rick Bodick. It only seems fitting that after more than three decades of putting on Broadway quality shows we end this era with a program that honors and celebrates his career.” Added Clark: “Rick touched countless lives in his legendary career and this tribute will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase just that. It will surely be a night to be remembered.”
