Two gangs in a fictitious city populated only by children are in a rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Dandy Dan’s gang has gotten the upper hand since acquiring the “splurge” gun (a weapon that shoots whip cream). Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust into the limelight when he becomes the last chance Fat Sam’s gang has of surviving. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey… but that just isn’t in the cards for our hero.

COMPANY Runs July 18-21

WCCST_Company logoCOMPANY
Wilmington College Community Summer Theatre
July 18-21
[Wilmington]

Directed by Wynn Alexander
Music direction by Matt Spradlin
Choreography by Cole Haugh

Cast: Bryan Wallingford as Bobby, Bekah Wall as Sarah, Matt Purkey as Harry, Tricia Heys as Jenny, Andrew Conarroe as David, Gina Beck as Susan, Timothy Larrick as Peter, Kate Koch as Amy, Kevin Wall as Paul, Cherie Cooper-Darragh as Joanne, Steven Haines as Larry, Abby Smith as April, Jessica Fair as Marta & Jessica Yankel as Kathy

Company, with music by Sondheim and book by George Furth, takes place on the night of Bobby’s all-important “30-something” birthday. Bobby, a long confirmed single, contemplates what it means to be alone. Over the course of a series of remembered dinners, drinks and even a wedding, friends explain the pros and cons of taking on a spouse. Bobby is forced to question “the tick-tock” of what it means to be unmarried. Sondheim’s Company is largely regarded as a trailblazer of the dark-comedy, modern-musical genre, and features a brilliantly brisk and energetic score containing many of the composer’s best-known songs.

In this retelling of The Iliad, told from the perspective of Penelope about the murder of her twelve maids we examine what it means to be a woman, to have your voice taken away, and to be left without justice. Margret Atwood’s words come alive with the cast of twelve primarily high school and college age actresses. Join this all-female cast as they explore how the twelve maids can take back their story.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW Runs June 27-July 6

TMU_The Taming of the Shrew logoTHE TAMING OF THE SHREW
Thomas More University Summer Shakes
June 27-July 6
Amphitheater [Crestview Hills]

Directed by Greg Procaccino

Join us for the third annual TMU Summer Shakespeare production. Per usual, we’re putting a lot of twists on this hilarious Shakespeare classic. It’s an outdoor show located in the amphitheater beside the chapel. No reservations required because performances are free! Bring a blanket and picnic dinner, or lawn chairs to set up in the back. It’s going to be a great couple of weekends, we hope you can make it!

Baptista has a problem, and her name is Kate. His eldest daughter is so strong-willed, stubborn and downright shrewish that, despite her considerable family fortune, not a single man in Padua is willing to marry her. That is until the arrival of Petruchio, a brash and bumptious fortune-seeker who has come “to wive it wealthily in Padua.” Confident in his ability to “tame” the cantankerous Kate, he takes her to wife. Is he up for the challenge, or has Petruchio finally met his match? Who will end up taming who?
