Director Barbara Myers said that she decided to do the Stars’ annual summer show in Cedartown, “because of the interest and talent of the local actors.”
Myers said an ensemble cast of more than 30 members has not had much time to rehearse.
“We just started rehearsing since school got out,” she said. “We started the first week of June, but the kids have been really dedicated to this.”
Myers said the young cast has experience and determination beyond its years.
“A lot of these teenagers have been acting for a decade or more,” she said. “Some will go on to the Broadway stage. Some even have agents. It’s community theater, but 90 percent plan to pursue this. They’re extremely dedicated.”
Myers said audiences can look forward to more than just a love story.
“This is not the movie version,” she said. “This is not just Sandy and Danny. Every character has a story. There’s a lot of dancing, great costumes and just an all-around good time.”
Audiences won’t want to miss this theatrical event as the hilarious story of Rydell High’s spirited class of ‘59 comes alive in all its gum-chewing, hotrod-loving, leather jacket-wearing glory.
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit The Boys & Girls Club of Polk County.
The production company, Stars in our Eyes, Inc., out of Rome is producing the event.
Stars in our Eyes is a volunteer organization dedicated to bringing quality theatrical productions and education to the community, according to its press release.
