Two Shows! Saturday, May 21 at 3:00 and 7:30 pm
Based on the popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the story in song and dance of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats when one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer.
Featuring a cast of nearly 80 Beck Center students ages 6 to 19 years, CATS is directed by Jonathan Kronenberger, Beck’s associate director of Theater Education. “Performing CATS with this many actors and dancers requires a new way of imagining the storytelling and a new way of rehearsing,” said Kronenberger. Choreography for this production of Cats is led by Melanie Szucs and Devon Shriver and features 20 dancers from Beck’s Dance Workshop.”It has been an exciting challenge and a great learning opportunity for everyone involved,” added Kronenberger.
