PRESENTING THE 2008 SEASON!!!
In May we will be presenting the hilarious comedy,"Greater Tuna" which is a series of vignettes of the ridiculous citizens of the small town of Tuna, Texas (where Didi's Used Weapons are guaranteed to kill and the Smut Snatchers Society hunts down bad words in the high school dictionaries). Originally cast with two actors performing multiple roles, "Greater Tuna" contains twenty characters from the teenaged to the middle-aged, and for Stage East, the more actors, the merrier! Directed by Tess Mattraw, "Greater Tuna" will be performed May 9th, 10th, 11th and 16th, 17th, 18th.
In August we will be presenting the romantic comedy,"Bell, Book and Candle" perhaps best known from the 1958 film which starred Kim Novak. It's the story of an average, modern-day, witch, living in New York who develops an interest in a handsome publisher -- and uses her powers to keep a rival from him. But a witch who falls in love loses her powers, and this leads to hilarious consequences. It will be directed by Bill Breuer, who directed last year's very successful "Barefoot in the Park." Performances are August 8th, 9th, 10th, and 15th, 16th and 17th.
In October we will be producing the rollicking musical comedy, "Nunsense." Set in the Little Sisters of Hoboken convent, the story unfolds as the cook accidentally kills 52 of the residents. In order to pay for the burials, the five surviving residents need to raise money and the music starts! Performance dates in October to be announced.
Stage East performs at the Eastport Arts Center, 36 Washington Street, Eastport. All are welcome. If you would like to audition or be a part of any of the above shows, either on stage or back stage, or at the door, please call Brian Schuth at 853-7134 or email him at brian@schuth.com.
