Uptown Players Presents Regional Premiere of HELLO AGAIN, Now thru 10/21

Uptown Players closes its 2012 season with the regional premiere of the adult musical, Hello Again, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater from tonight, October 5 through October 21, 2012.

A musical by Michael John LaChuisa, Hello Again is an adult musical fantasy suggested by Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde. Ten nameless characters pair up in 10 different scenes of sexual pleasure and/or despair. Hello Again crisscrosses beds and jumps from decade-to-decade, intimately examining the painful secrets that drive characters into each other's arms and towards the bruising effects of reckless passion. With a score that saturates the mind, Hello Again is a haunting and sensual tale culminating in the moody recognition of love's inescapable pull.

The cast includes Linda Leonard, John Campione, Laura Lites, Adam Garst, Beth Albright, Mark Hawkins, Peter DiCesare, Chad Peterson, Stephanie Riggs, Shane Peterman and Aaron White. The musical is under the direction of John de los Santos, with music direction by Adam C. Wright.
