Dundalk Community Theatre to Open Season with RUTHLESS!

Dundalk Community Theatre kicks off its 42nd season with a little known gem of a show, RUTHLESS! The Musical. It is a campy cult favorite in which a talented child actor will do ANYTHING to play the lead in her school play. The comedy is nonstop as the show spoofs such classics as Gypsy, Mame, The Bad Seed and All About Eve. The show runs from October 30th to November 8th. Individual tickets are $23 for adults, $20 for senior adults and $15 for students/DCT Actors/Children 12 and under.

RUTHLESS! is a 90 minute hilarious romp through the world of Broadway, child acting, parenthood and unbridled ambition. The original production in 1992 stared Laura Bell Bundy (Legally Blonde) and she was understudied by Natalie Portman and Britney Spears. It won the 1993 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical. The show was revived again this year off-Broadway.

The Cast: Kaitlyn Wise of York, PA (Tina Denmark), Tatiana Dalton of York, PA (Judy Denmark), Brian Jacobs of Baltimore (Sylvia St. Croix), Shannon Wollman of Ellicott City (Lita Encore), Jaime Miller of Arnold (Myrna Thorn) and Kelly Rardon of Reisterstown (Louise Lerman). Directed by John Desmone, Musical Direction by Mike DeVito, and Choreography by Amanda Dickson.

Show times are at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday - October 30th - November 8th in the John E. Ravekes Theatre, K Building.
