celebrating their 87th season, is proud to announce the
opening of the red-hot Tony Award-winning musical, Chicago.
Directed by
Greg Geer with musical direction by Ron Procopio and choreography by

star by killing her two-timing lover and trying to pin it on her
clueless husband. She not only avoids prison with the help of
razzle-dazzle lawyer, Billy Flynn, but she uses the trial to propel
herself to showbiz stardom along with another murderous jailbird,
Velma Kelly. This explosive musical extravaganza is full of stylish
choreography and show-stopping numbers including “All That Jazz,”
“Razzle Dazzle,” “Mr. Cellophane” and “Class.”

THE
COMMUNITY PLAYERS ANNOUNCE 87th SEASON
Rhode
Island's oldest community theater group, The Community Players,
currently operating out of Jenks Auditorium, (across from McCoy
Stadium), in Pawtucket, is proud to announce their 87th
season.
The
season continues in February with Ernest Thompson’s timeless story
On Golden Pond, directed by Peggy Pires. Perhaps best
remembered from the 1981 film adaptation starring Henry Fonda and
Katherine Hepburn, this funny and touching comedy tells the story of
Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on
Golden Pond, Maine for the forty-fourth year.
When their estranged
daughter returns to renew her relationship – and to persuade them to
keep her fiancé’s thirteen year old son for the summer – Norman and
Ethel are confronted with unexpected changes. Norman's charming
humor and Ethel's caring warmth are tested as Norman's health, and
spirits, decline. Hailed by
theatre critics as “a work of rare simplicity and beauty,” On
Golden Pond is a
moving sentimental family drama filled with humor and an energetic
spirit.
On Golden Pond
will
be presented from February 1 – 10, 2008.
In the
spring, Greg Geer directs and Ron Procopio music directs the sexy,
sophisticated hit musical, Chicago, a dark parable of
the American justice system, which tells the story
of a two-bit aging chorine named Roxie
Hart who becomes a headline-grabbing star by killing her two-timing
lover and trying to pin it on her clueless husband. She not only
avoids prison with the help of razzle-dazzle lawyer, Billy Flynn,
but she uses the trial to propel herself to showbiz stardom
along with another murderous jailbird, Velma Kelly. This explosive
musical extravaganza is full of stylish choreography and
show-stopping numbers including “All That Jazz,” “Razzle Dazzle,”
“Mr. Cellophane” and “Class.”
Chicago
will be presented from April 4 –
20, 2008.
Rounding
out the season is Neil Simon’s Tony Award-winner Broadway
Bound, directed by Brian Mulvey. In the poignant conclusion
of Neil Simon’s acclaimed autobiographical trilogy, (which includes
Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues), Eugene
Jerome and his older brother Stanley are trying to break into the
world of professional comedy writing, while coping with the breakup
of their family. When
they find a job where they can write short comedic skits for the
radio, they use their
dysfunctional family as inspiration and when the material is
broadcast, the family is upset to hear a comedy rendition of their
trials and tribulations. Feelings get hurt, family secrets come out
and the brothers discover harsh truths about who they are, while
learning lessons about love, forgiveness and hope.
Broadway Bound will be
presented from June 13 – 22, 2008.
Memberships for the 2007-2008
season are currently available. Individual tickets are $15.00 for
non-musicals and $18.00 for musicals. Members can enjoy substantial
savings with two different membership options. A regular $45
membership entitles the bearer to one ticket for each of the four
shows. The second option, the Flex-Tix Pass, has become enormously
popular because of its flexibility. For $50, the Flex-Tix pass
provides members with four tickets to be used as desired. For
example, all four tickets can be used for one show, two tickets can
be used for two different shows – be creative, the choice is yours!
For general
information, please call (401) 727-0702.
For reservations, please call
(401) 726-6860. (Tickets go on sale 4 weeks prior to the opening
date for each show.)
