Christian Youth Theater has announced its upcoming season of four productions.
“James and the Giant Peach,” running Oct. 6-8, at Marian University
Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book, “James and the Giant Peach” is now a musical for the whole family. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (“Dogfight” and “A Christmas Story the Musical”) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (“Willy Wonka,” “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley”), and critics rave: “James and the Giant Peach” is a “masterpeach!”
“The Sound of Music,” running Feb. 2-4, at Marian University
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. In this adaptation of the timeless movie for students, the Von Trapp family comes to life.
“12 Angry Jurors,” running Jan. 19-28, at Theater at the Fort
CYT will offer its second non-musical feature with this mystery, based on the award winning play/movie “12 Angry Men,” a 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts.
“Footloose,” running June 8-19, Location is to be determined
One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, “Footloose” will have you dancing in the aisles.
