Synopsis: Boston’s Colonial Theatre is set to host the pre-Broadway tryout of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies during the curtain call on opening night, the entire cast and production team are suspects. Enter a local detective who just happens to be a musical theatre fan!
Curtains features music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, the same creative team best known for the musicals Cabaret and Chicago. Come enjoy this brassy, bright backstage musical comedy, Curtains!
“Once the detective arrives at the murder scene at Boston's Colonial Theater, he discovers he has two cases to solve: fixing a bad show, and, you know, the pesky little detail of solving a murder. In his work to help develop the new musical, Cioffi learns that musicals can be just as complicated to produce as murders are to solve. Will Cioffi be able to solve the murder and save the show?! Curtains recognizes that even the silliest of musical comedies have the power to bring out the best and worst in people. There are some crazy "show people" in Curtains! But, in general, a "show person" is just someone willing to do anything to help the team. Thank you to all the show people involved in this production—the cast, crew, production and design team, musicians, and volunteers. I hope Curtains brings out the "show person" in you too." - Lauren Leong, Director The King’s Academy, an independent, college preparatory school for grades 6-12, is a Christ-centered school that inspires academic excellence, servant leadership, and enduring relationships.
