February 15-24, 2019 | Winter Youth Show | Cast ages 9-15 | Book by Arthur Laurents | Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim | Orchestration by Don Walker | Directed by Kelcie Nicole Dugger | AUDITIONS: Nov. 19, 20 & 21
Written by Stephen Sondheim, Anyone Can Whistle, is an absurdist social satire about insanity and conformity (among a dozen other things!). This legendary cult show is a wacky, intelligent, highly unconventional musical which tells the story of a corrupt mayoress who fakes a miracle to revitalize her bankrupt town and the ill-fated romance between the rational nurseand the easy-going doctor who is determined to enjoy the chaos that it brings. Anyone Can Whistle delivers a poignant message about the importance of the individual in a conformist society – but not before aiming its still-relevant barbs at government, religion, science and anything else that stands in its way!
