CCPA & CYPT Present 31st Annual Summer Show THE WEDDING SINGER

The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
& Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre
Present our 31st annual summer show

THE WEDDING SINGER
July 27 – August 5, 2012

Reggie Hemphill as Sammy, Dorsey Ziller as Grandma Rosie, Brian Spencer as George, Kelcey Steele as Robbie Hart, Kalie Kaimann as Linda, Lindsey Mullen as Julia & Jo Ellen Pellman as Holly.

The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, 4990 Glenway Avenue announces the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre’s 31st annual summer musical – THE WEDDING SINGER – running Friday, July 27 through Sunday, August 5, 2012!

In THE WEDDING SINGER, its 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. With a brand new score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980’s, THE WEDDING SINGER takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
September 6 – 30, 2012
by Tennessee Williams

In a plantation house, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. This is a gripping and intensely moving play, a play that can hold its own. Brilliant scenes of sudden and lashing dramatic power, break open…There is no one moment in the evening when the stinging accuracy of Mr. Williams’ ear for human speech is not compellingly in evidence. Greg Procaccino, Director
