City Theatre Presents POP!, 5/5

City Theatre will end its 2011-2012 season with POP!, a new musical in one act by Maggie-Kate Coleman and Anna K. Jacobs. Directed by Brad Rouse, POP! runs on City Theatre's Main Stage from May 5-27, 2012 with an Opening Night performance on Friday, May 11 at 8pm.

Who shot Andy Warhol? Welcome to the legendary Factory, where every artist has talent, ego, and a motive to pull the trigger. As the pop icon's life flashes before his eyes, he confronts an unforgettable cast of outrageous suspects and wrestles with the meaning of his own legacy.

POP! features Courtney Bassett, Jesse Carrey-Beaver, Alyse Alan Louis, Anthony Rapp, Brian Charles Rooney, Paul Victor, and Bria Walker. The creative team includes Billy Porter (Choreography), Douglas Levine (Music Direction), Anne Mundell (Scenic), Susan Tsu (Costume), Andrew David Ostrowski (Lighting), and Zack Moore (Sound).
