<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This new George and Ira Gershwin extravaganza is
filled with song and dance, and talented playwright Ken Ludwig's hilarious
dialogue. The audience will be swept up in the artfully constructed tale of
Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930's playboy, whose dream in life is to dance. And
despite the serious efforts of his mother and soon-to-be-ex-fiancee, Bobby
achieves his dream! It's a high-energy comedy which includes mistaken identity,
plot twists and fabulous dance numbers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Set in 1936, the play features many memorable tunes
from old George and Ira Gershwin shows of the '20s and '30s, including “I Can't
Be Bothered Now,” “Bidin' My Time,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Naughty Baby,” “They Can't
Take That Away from Me,” “But Not for Me,” “Nice Work if You Can Get It,”
“Embraceable You” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>“This show is adapted from the 1930's musical,
'Girl Crazy' – the only Gershwin musical to be filmed more than once,” says
director Douglas Anderson of Ashtabula. “The most famous version starred Mickey
Rooney and Judy Garland. Like them, our leads-- Ellie Portman as Polly and Nick
Cusano as Bobby -- also bring an engaging stage presence and a wealth of talent
and dedication. The comic timing and chemistry between them are delightful. Our
supporting cast is stellar, as well, and the hard work that everyone has put in
really shows."</FONT></DIV>
