海角社区’s Summer Theatre Program to present musical comedy “Anything Goes”
June 5, 2015
海角社区鈥檚 Summer Theatre Program will present Cole Porter鈥檚 production 鈥淎nything Goes鈥� on June 12, 13, 15, 18, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Bistline Theatre in the Stephens Performing Arts Center.
鈥淎nything Goes鈥� is a musical comedy set on an ocean liner traveling from New York to London. Two unlikely couples strive for true love amidst much humor and antics. Described as, 鈥渕usical-comedy joy,鈥� by The New York Times, the musical is appropriate for the entire family. The production features lots of dancing, slapstick comedy and the classical tunes of Cole Porter.
The production is directed by Diana Livingston Friedley, director of undergraduate studies in music. This is Friedley鈥檚 second time directing a musical, and has co-directed operas and opera scenes before.
Friedley said most people will recognize these classic songs from the play including 鈥淔riendship,鈥� 鈥淎nything Goes鈥� and 鈥淚 Get a Kick Out of You.鈥�
鈥淚 think people will love the music,鈥� Friedley said. 鈥淧eople will know the songs and leave the theatre humming them.鈥�
A live band directed by Geoffrey Friedley, adjunct music professor, will accompany the production and feature woodwinds, brass and piano. The choreography was designed by Lauralee Zimmerly, dance professor.
The annual summer theater program produced by the School of Performing Arts and the College of Arts and Letters showcases Southeast Idaho鈥檚 talent and the resources 海角社区 has to offer. This year鈥檚 cast is divided equally between community members and 海角社区 students and alumni.
