"Anything Goes" Packs Schreiber Auditorium!

Port Washington theater goers enthusiastically packed the Schreiber auditorium for Cole Porter’s classic musical “Anything Goes!” March 26-29th. “Anything Goes!” is a musical theater classic brimming with standards like “You’re the Top,” “I Get a Kick Out of You” and “All Through the Night,” among others.

The musical features a cast of characters on board a luxury liner sailing from New York to London. Billy Crocker is a stowaway in love with, Hope, who is set to marry an Englishman. Billy enlists the help of Reno Sweeney, a former evangelist turned nightclub singer, as well as Moonface, a gangster posing as a priest, to help him win back the girl. Hilarious antics ensue and the entire cast brings down the house tap dancing to the rousing tune “Anything Goes!”

The production involved the efforts of over 100 students and staff, under the direction of Lauren Foster-Holzer, with vocal direction by Carly Valentine, orchestral direction by John Meyer, choreography by Floryn Glass, and was produced by Christine Nelson. Kevin Scully, creative arts director PWFSD also played trumpet in the pit.

The Schreiber Theater Program is a proud recipient of a 2015 “HEARTS” grant.
