Sound Theatre Company to Present THE WILD PARTY, 9/13-15

Back-to-school is all about the kids, but this September, treat yourself to a grown-up evening out! Suitable strictly for ages 18 and over, The Wild Party is adapted from a book-length poem written during and about the Roaring Twenties. It tells the story of one wild evening in a Manhattan apartment and a party to end all parties.

BPA is very excited to bring Sound Theatre Company's production of The Wild Party to Bainbridge Performing Arts in September. Corey McDaniel directs this provocative staging with musical direction by Carl Petrillo, and choreography by Jessica Low. The production features the physical and vocal talents of an ensemble of young professional musical theatre artists, many of whom will be familiar to BPA audiences.

The cast features Tori Spero as Queenie, Troy Wageman as Burrs, Jesse Smith as Mr. Black, Allison Standley as Kate, DeSean Halley as Eddie, McKenna Turner as Mae, Leslie Wisdom as Madelaine True, Adrienne Baltz as Nadine, Zandi Carlson as Jackie, Ryan Patrick O'Donnell as Oscar D'Armano, James Sgambati as Phil D'Armano, Katie Poor as Dolores, Matt Fulbright as Sam, Justin Carrell as The Neighbor, and Sara Trowbridge as Max.

Andrew Lippa's award-winning score provides excitement and drive for this tale of passions out of control. Capturing the sound of a bygone era with a nod to the present one, he makes us realize that moral decadence is not only limited to our past. Sound Theatre Company is renowned for highly theatrical work inspired by language and music while showcasing professional and emerging talent in the Seattle area.

The Wild Party appears at BPA, with shows Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday @ 3:00 p.m., and a special Pay-What-You-Can Preview on Thursday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $20 per person, may be purchased online at www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org, by phone at 206.842.8569 or in person at BPA, 200 Madison Avenue North, Bainbridge Island. BPA Box Office hours are 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and one hour prior to each performance.

BPA is supported, in part, by the Bainbridge Community Foundation and One Call for All.
