WAKEFIELD, MA – Wakefield Memorial High School Theater Arts is proud to announce its fall production: The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon by Don Zolidis. The second half of the evening will feature the school’s singers performing songs from their favorite Broadway musicals.
Performances will be held at the Wakefield Memorial High School (60 Farm Street, Wakefield MA 01880). Performances will be held on Thursday, November 13 at 4pm and Friday, November 14 at 6pm. Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Student tickets are free at the door pending availability. Tickets are available at www.wakefieldtheater.org and will be available at the door 30 minutes before the show.
In “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon,” two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil's Grandmother.
The WMHS production stars a group of seven freshmen: Rylie Bruch, Fiona Burd, Luke D’Andrea, Ava O’Connell, Sophie Powers, EJ Savage, and Will Symes. The production is managed by Hailey Allocco, Alex Baumhardt, Declan Blair, James Brogna, and Lucy Spry. Student designers also include Clara Thomas (costumes), Teddy Moore (lighting), Morgan MacRobbie (props), and Nathaniel Chines (sound). Additional technical crew members include Shay Barker, Alison Burke, Jay Burns, Angela Guo, Abby Turner, Alicia Turner, and Jessie Yarosh.
After a brief intermission, we’ll host a Broadway cabaret featuring songs from hit Broadway musicals including Hairspray, Sweeney Todd, Waitress, Into the Woods, and Wicked. This cast includes Hailey Allocco, Shay Barker, Aiden Berinato, Ben Blackstone, James Brogna, Carina Cataldo, Naya Chankhour, Chloe Migliacci, Lucy Spry, and Sadie Spry.
The production is directed by Will Karvouniaris. Technical Support is provided by Tim Donahue, Becky Jo Roland, Matty Tupaj, and Matthew Williams. Music direction is by Kate Burns.
This production is supported in part by the Wakefield Education Foundation, the Wakefield Cultural Council, and the Wakefield Music Boosters.
