"We think this will be a great way for people to wind down their weekend in an interesting way," said Caligiure. "Plus, it's a great way for our performers to practice, and to sing songs they wouldn't otherwise get to sing."
The first evening's theme is "He Sang/She Sang" a gender-bent cabaret where performers must sing a song usually performed by the opposite sex. Performers include some favorites from the Rep's critically-acclaimed 2015 Season, including Merrill Peiffer (A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline), Chris Bradley (Guys and Dolls, A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline), Ben Bagley (Into the Woods), and Jason Faria (Avenue Q).
True to its name, Speakeasy by the Sea will offer some fun adult beverage options for patrons. Collaborators South Street & Vine, located on Marcy Street, will be providing a specially selected red and a white wine available by the glass, plus a cheese offering for each evening of performance. Additionally, Seacoast Rep members and performers will be given a password each month for a discount at Seacoast Rep's full bar during Speakeasy. Patrons are encouraged to get it if they can.
