FALLBROOK – Junior high students will perform in the comedy "Guys and Dolls" at the Mission Theatre.
There will be a total of six performances and show times are as follows: 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 6, and Friday, May 20; and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, and Saturday, May 21.
With music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, this classic has the humor to challenge the bright young performers of Fallbrook this spring.
Thanks to the success of the after school acting program offered to students in grades 3-6 over the past 10 years, many have developed a love for performing. Now that many of the past students are pre-teens and teenagers, there has not been an opportunity for them to perform in a musical in Fallbrook.
"We are proud that many of the girls have been able to participate in the show choir offered at Potter Junior High lead by Casey Jonesrebrant," said Jennifer Craw, the artistic director of Mission Theatre. "These students have learned musical skills and more advanced techniques through choir classes, as well as dance lessons from the CAST Academy studios in Fallbrook. It is our goal to provide a positive opportunity for these youth to apply their talents."
The male lead role of Sky Masterson will be played by Mitchell Ballif and the doll he bets on Sergeant Sarah Brown will be played by Maya Rink. Both have played leads in the past as elementary students and are ready for more difficult material. The comedy relief will be supplied by Lucas Klingsberg as Nathan Detroit and his gal Adelaide, played by Ireland Fitzpatrick.
The cast is rounded out by 20 more students, Riley Montgomery (Lt. Brannigan), Kai Jenson (Nicely-Nicely), Joey Meyer (Benny Southstreet), Jagger Gould (Rusty Charlie), Jonathan Sanchez, Brendan Booker, and Ethan Hoffman. Some of the Missionary Dolls are Delaney Meehan, Taylor Rubinstein, Brenann O'Leary, Kiana Chambers, Abigail McCarthy while the dancing ensemble includes Lana Gallinat, Laura Garcia, Jade Kennedy, Karli Schreiber, Sophia Wright, Sophia Wallace, Ryann Wallace, and Mia Gallinat.
