If heartaches, hope and everlasting love; base on Louisa May Alcott’s you love the songs from Rent, this production is well worth a summer’s life, 8 p.m. Wednesday, August eve. The singers are better than Broadway, and their hearts are so open 12; 7 p.m. Thursday, August 13; to tell the story of sacrificing in pursuit of dreams, it grabs you all over 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, August again. 14-15; 2 p.m. Sunday, August 16; 7 p.m. Wednesday, August 19; 2 Executive Artistic Director Kirby Volz, Assistant Director Andrew and 8 p.m. Thursday, August 20 Sherman, and Musical Director Brandon Porter were under licensing and 8 p.m. Saturday, August 22, terms that required the principal roles be filled by actors under the age of Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, Warsaw, $14-$32, 574-267-8041 20. This clearly did not prove to be any problem at all. The cast is simply amazing. Two Calebs play the male leads, as Mark Cohen, the aspiring film- maker, and Roger Davis, the HIV-positive rocker. Caleb Curtis nails Mark, with all the character’s nerdy, struggling-to-keep-head-above- water vibe, a “Where’s Waldo” scarf, wide-eyed glasses – just right for his self-described “witness” function. Caleb Novell is electric as Roger, especially in his scenes with Mimi, played with magnetism and incred- ible high notes by Dana Bixler. The two gay couples in the story are stronger than those we saw several years ago in the Civic Theatre’s production. Nick Walters as Tom Collins and Daniel Meredith as Angel Dumott Schunard serve as the heart of the show and come across with energy and charm. Nick’s singing is as- Weekends tounding, one of the best solo voices anywhere right now. Daniel’s Angel could charm the birds from the trees, and as expected of Angel, he steals July 25 - August 9 every scene he is in. The two women battling through their love are also The Fort Wayne Civic Theatre production of not only musically excellent, but fully in character. Mary Wilson, as Ivy- Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s League efficient Joanne Jefferson, teams with Curtis’ Mark for one of the best “Tango Maureen” versions I’ve ever heard. Clare Ramel’s Maureen MARY POPPINS Johnson not only takes center stage for her character’s much-awaited A Musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney Film “performance art,” but owns it, baby! She lets Maureen be the “force of nature” others describe and had the opening night audience mooing like a Schenkel’s dairy. The difficult role of the bad guy, aspiring entrepreneur Benjamin Coffin III, is played mildly but well by Jayvon Thomas. A surprisingly fascinating minor character, one of the street people, is Gabe Robertson, who several times catches us off-guard with his bell-clear tenor, espe- cially in the iconic “Season of Love” opening number of Act Two. It’s a large cast and a good one, including several newcomers to the local stage scene. It’s always fun to watch new faces stretch their wings 260. and fly and this Rent ensemble includes several we hope to see on stages 424.5220 in the area in the future, including Sydney Shuherk, Anya Gouloff, Alex Leavell, Maggie Leavell, Nevada Walker, Kalee McCullar, Jimmy Pel- fwcivic.org legrene, Lauren Roos, Cory Gialamas, Cameron Tolliver, Makenna Por- Directed and Choreographed by ter, Brooke Bolinger, Emma Gray, Jadyen Cano, Keshaun Brown, Tak ShowTony Sponsor Award Nominee Jones, Reanna Rooks, Isabel Maahs, Alayna Thornton, Gianna Cutigni, JANE LANIER Kelli Baker, Maegan Morrolf, Jacqueline Till, Dallas Sherman and Cord- ell Humbarger. 260.
