‘The Fantasticks’ coming soon
Pellissippi State will present six performances of the musical “The Fantasticks” in the Clayton Performing Arts Center.
The performances are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 27-28 and April 3-4, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 29 and April 5.
“The Fantasticks” premiered off-Broadway in 1960 and ran for a record-breaking 17,162 performances. The musical’s book and lyrics were written by Tom Jones, and the music was composed by Harvey Schmidt.
In 2006 an off-Broadway revival began and is still drawing audiences. The book is charming, the score whimsical, and together they present a touching and funny story of innocence and enlightenment.
Pellissippi State’s production of “The Fantasticks” is directed and staged by Steven McBride, with musical direction by Hannah Kyzer. The veteran cast includes Kevin Smathers, Robby Griffith, Dan Maxwell, Art Dworkin and Matthew McDonald, with Casey Maxwell and George Fox as the young lovers. The producer is Charles Miller, associate professor of Theatre at the College.
Tickets are available at the Clayton Performing Arts Center box office 30 minutes before each show. Tickets are $8 for Pellissippi State students and faculty, $10 for area students and seniors, and $12 general admission. Seating is limited.
