ABOUT THE SHOW 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 nurse and 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! Book by Arthur Laurents | Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim | Orchestration by Don Walker Directed by Kelcie Nicole Dugger, Choreographed by Josh Landis & Musically Directed by Scott Pyle CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS Fay Apple The resilient, young nurse at The Cookie Jar. She falls in love with Hapgood. She is meticulous and practical, but provides a lot of fun throughout the show. Cora Hoover Hooper The rich and greedy Mayor who is hated by her people. Controlling and desperate. J. Bowden Hapgood The new doctor in town who falls for Fay. Hapgood is wild, whimsical, and charming. He is more than meets the eye. Comptroller Schub The town's Comptroller and Cora's right-hand man. He is hotheaded and mean. Treasurer Cooley A former Preacher and the town Treasurer who was tossed out to pasture. Schub's right hand man. Scuzzy, slimy. Chief Of Police Magruder Serves as the Chief of Police and rounds out the trio of Cora's lackeys. He aims to please and gets excited when he does, but he is mostly a day late and a dollar short. Mrs. Schroeder Baby Joan's tough mother. Dr. Detmold The fussy doctor of The Cookie Jar. A very busy man and a bit of a snob. Ensemble Cookies, Deputies, Townspeople, Pilgrims, and more!
