Curtains, The Musical Comedy Whodunit
CURTAINS, the musical comedy whodunit – Young @ Part, is a delightful and suspenseful musical comedy, featuring a Golden Age-style score by the legendary songwriting duo John Kander & Fred Ebb, the creative minds behind Cabaret and Chicago. With a sharp, witty book by Rupert Holmes, Curtains combines the best elements of classic Broadway with a clever whodunit twist that will keep audiences laughing and guessing until the very end.
Set in the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959, Boston’s Colonial Theatre is playing host to the opening night performance of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage… the entire cast and crew are suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan!
A scholarship will be awarded to one student who demonstrates financial need, enabling them to pursue their artistic training and goals.
Students learn:
…focus, imagination, creation, and theatre games, while rehearsing for a final performance. A fun way to work with other young people! Students have the opportunity to develop theatre and public presentation skills as they rehearse for a production where they can make friends and work as a team.
This class is for ages 9-17.
