Zorba! In-Concert *Saturday, December 5, 20152 PME. Turner Stump TheatreKent State UniversityWednesday, December 9, 2015* *7:30 PMMackey Main StageBeck Center for the Arts* **When we say “in concert” that means we’ll simply tell the story, focusing on this important American musical through all of the spoken dialogue and the songs.* In this follow-up to our John Kander concert, here’s a chance to see a great 1968 Kander & Ebb show you may have missed — based on the wildly popular novel and film *Zorba the Greek*, starring Anthony Quinn. “I believe in grabbing at life,” says a force of nature called Zorba. “Every minute is a new minute. Never happened before.” This stirring tale captures the spirit of Greece and celebrates a people who embrace love, life and death with equal passion. “I Am Free,” proclaims Zorba in song, and you are bound to be moved by his credo. TMTP’s in-concert presentation, directed by *Terri Kent*, features *Fabio Polanco* in the charismatic title role. *Music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, book by Joseph Stein, adapted from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis | Directed by Terri Kent | Music direction by Nancy Maier | Featuring Fabio Polanco and members of the Kent State University Musical Theatre Program* *Co-produced with Beck Center and Kent State University* *Join us for a special post-show discussion with the performers, director Terri Kent and Bill Rudman.* *TICKETS* *Kent State: General:* $18| *Seniors/TMTP Members:* $14 Call the KSU Box Office at 330-672-ARTS (2787) or visit http://www.kent.edu/theatredance <http://www.kent.edu/theatredance/babes-arms> *Beck Center: General: *$26 | *TMTP Members:* $21 *Children (12 and under):* $10 Call TMTP’s Box Office at 216-245-TMTP (8687) http://www.MusicalTheaterProject.org <http://www.musicaltheaterproject.org/>
