Oh What A HIT - JERSEY BOYS Extends Run!
FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK

There is a kind of magic that happens in the theatre.

Two weeks before opening night, everything's coming together. Sometimes, it feels hopeless, as the actors try to put down their scripts, stage crew learns the scene changes, everyone begins to meld with the orchestra, the prop list expands every day, and the costumes and wigs come into play. Suddenly you have lightning fast costume changes, lighting and sound cues added into the mix. Each individual element of the show that looks so effortless has its own set of challenges that need to be perfected, as music, storytelling, and technology need to combine into the cohesive unit that elevates a rehearsal into a production.

Then on opening night, the audience gets added into the mix and that is where the magic happens, when the audience connects with the work and there are tears and laughter, cheers and applause. We get to experience that magic every night at JERSEY BOYS. I am so proud of 50 people who come together each night and make JERSEY BOYS happen. If you have not yet made it to the show I hope that you can.

We are thrilled that the Erie community’s response to JERSEY BOYS has been so electric - and we are thrilled to announce that we are extending the show’s run to include THREE ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCES.

SpongeBob is facing another day of work at the Krusty Krab. Just as Mr. Krab declines SpongeBob’s request for a promotion to manager, the entire town feels a tremor from a nearby volcano about to erupt.

Then, just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero arises, proving that the power of optimism really can save the world.
