Seabrook Residents Present Musical, June 1 - 3
The entertaining musical is the 19th show directed and produced by resident Lindo Meli.
Residents from Seabrook, an Erickson Living Retirement Community in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, will present the musical, “How to Be a Lady,” June 1 to 3. The entertaining musical is the 19th show directed and produced by resident Lindo Meli.
Meli moved to Seabrook in 2008 and started the Seabrook Performers a year later. Meli has many years of experience working both in theater and radio. He has performed and directed more than 250 shows, both on radio and stage, and has worked with many famous actors, including Lauren Bacall, Gene Barry, Raymond Burr, and Peggy Cass. While in the U.S. Signal Corp, he appeared in many U.S. Special Services shows, Brisbane Repertory shows, and Australian Broadcasting System radio shows.
“I’m always amazed by what Seabrook’s young seniors can do in our productions,” said Meli. “How they memorize all the lines and music for the show and bring the characters to life is inspiring. We have such a talented and hardworking cast and crew.”
