They discover the lost town of Brigadoon, which resulting from a miracle from God, comes to life only for one day every century. One of the Americans, Tommy Albright, happens to fall in love with a local girl, Fiona MacLaren. The problem is that if Tommy stays in the town for more than a day, he can never return home to New York. Not trusting him emotions, Tommy returns home to his fiancée , Jane Ashton, whom he really does not want to marry. In the end, at the last minute, Tommy cancels his wedding and returns to Scotland. In another miracle, because Tommy’s love for Fiona is so great, Brigadoon returns for another brief moment to allow Tommy to enter and never return to the outside world. -StageAgent.com

One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town’s youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony nominated top 40 score and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD Runs July 18-19

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre
July 18-19
Beavercreek

Directed by Doug Lloyd
Music directed by David McKibben

Cast: Sam Downs, Sean Hurley, Ray Zupp, Danielle Kubasky, Kelli Locker, Megan Rehberg, Pam Mcginnis, Victoria Tuccillo, Lindsay Sherman & Kaela Smith

This abstract musical review is a series of songs all connected by a theme: “the moment of decision.” The show employs performers who do not literally play the same characters throughout the show but who do have consistently developing character arcs. Composer Jason Robert Brown has said of his show, “It’s about one moment. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back.” Performed in cabaret setting with refreshments available, this EDGY fundraiser will surely be a crowd pleaser. Benefits BCT. Beer, wine, soft drinks and hor d’ouvres will be offered at this cabaret style performance.
