Upsala to present Musical Comedy “Give My Regards To Broadway” – July 27-30, 2012

The Upstage Players are set to produce Give My Regards to Broadway in the Upsala School Auditorium July 27-30.
The show, written by Shubert Fendrich with music and lyrics by George M. Cohan, is a musical comedy featuring a cast trying to put together a Broadway show. The director, played by Andrew Benson, is having trouble finding investors, a leading lady, and even the money to pay his cast. With the help of an aspiring actress, Melanie Cimenski, things are looking up. Of course his piano player, Mitchell McCallson, and showgirls, Hannah Knudtson, Arlene Warga, Carolyn Kokett, Hannah Cimenski, Rachel Nihart, and McKenzie Barth are with him all the way. The mob gets involved, there’s a surprise paternity twist, and of course, the show must go on–pneumonia, malnutrition, a conniving starlet and all. The cast also includes: Bethany Cimenski, Randy Borash, Leonice Prokott, Pam Schoon, Rob Schumer, and Ben Borash.
Come join us in supporting the arts and having some fun. Performances will be Fri. July 27, Sat. July 28, and Mon. July 30 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on Sunday, July 29 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. All proceeds from the show are used to cover costs of this and future productions.
In addition, a donation will be made to an arts program in the Upsala school and each spring the UpStage Arts Board presents a scholarship to a graduating senior pursuing an arts-related field. Give My Regards to Broadway is produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services Inc., Engelwood, Colorado.
