SHERBURNE – This Aug. 10 and 11, the Sherburne Music Theater Society is presenting “A ... My Name is Alice” in the intimate space of The Palace Theater in Hamilton, New York. Conceived and originally directed by Joan Micklin Silver and Julianne Boyd, “A ... My Name is Alice” was developed in a workshop process with the work of 28 composers and writers making it to the final cut. The resultant musical revue proves to be rich in variety and maintains an enviably consistent high level of quality.
The cast for “A .. My Name is Alice” is made up of nine talented performers: Shari Taylor from Earlville; Sarah Liuzzo from South Otselic; Krysta Nower from Earlville; Maggie Fitzpatrick from Sherburne; Lauren Mettler from Sherburne; Ellen Fagan from Earlville; Nicole St. Pierre from New Berlin; Evie Hammer-Lester from Georgetown; and Lisette Shiffer from Hamilton. Donna Moren of Sherburne, with Winnie Sortman from Greene as music director and Bethany Sortman from Greene as choreographer, directs the production. Rehearsals began in July and these very talented local actresses have been hard at work learning songs, choreography and staging for each of the individual scenes.
Moren said, ”Any director would love this cast. They are amazingly talented! They have dedicated a great deal of time and ability to this production and the end product will be incredible.”
This engaging production will make you laugh, gasp, giggle and become teary-eyed as the cast moves through an evening of marvelous music and scenes. Sophisticated, bawdy and insightful, this nightclub atmosphere revue offers a multi-faceted view of contemporary women, their joys, their triumphs and their heartaches. So, find a sitter and please join us on August 10th and 11th at 7pm in the intimate setting of the Palace Theater in downtown Hamilton for an entertaining evening guaranteed to please all adults. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Call 674-2309 for information and reservations.
