| Program: |
“Dames At Sea” humbly began in
1962 at Café Cino, a 40-seat performance space where
coffee and pastries were served. Joe Cino, the owner of the
café, was committed to giving a forum to new scripts,
and burgeoning playwrights like Lanford Wilson, Terrence McNally,
and John Guare were thrilled to have their first works produced
there. Robert Dahdah, a director and friend of Cino, discovered
a pile of scripts dumped in the back of the café. Cino
allowed Dahdah to pick one from the pile to direct, and “Dames
At Sea” was set afloat for its first production, starring
a 17-year old Bernadette Peters.
Created as a musical spoof of the 1930’s movie musicals,
“Dames at Sea” is a musical gem full of comedy,
tap dancing and torch songs. This imaginative production tells
the story of naïve, fresh-faced Ruby, who becomes the
last minute star of a new show just before the theatre is
demolished. With a little luck and love, the show must go
on…on the deck of a battleship.
The cast features Lindsay Martin, Mara Davi, Lindsay Nickerson,
Noah Rivera, Matt Lara, and Jeff Deards.
Ann Sheffield is the scenic designer, Rebecca Guzzi is the
costume designer, Debra Lockwood is the lighting designer,
Mai Sakai is the hair and make-up designer, and Matt Schleicher
is the sound designer. |
