UA's ENCORE! directed by Monte Ralstin & The FRESHMAN

DEBUT directed by David Morden Plays ONE NIGHT ONLY!

 

TUCSON, ARIZONA — For one night only, December 11, 2013, Encore! will be paired with our freshman acting students' performance piece, the Freshman Debut.

Each fall, a new edition of Debut is developed specifically to showcase the training and talents of the incoming freshman class of majors in our BFA Acting program, and Encore! presents a lively revue from the best of Broadway and musical theatre performed by our freshman Musical Theatre majors.

Encore! 2013-14 presents, Celebration! A Night of Broadway Musicals, which will take you on a journey through many classic show tunes, including: Cabaret, Miss Saigon, Phantom of the Opera, Les Mistrables, The Music Man, South Pacific, Footloose, Roberta, My Favorite Year, Parade, Gypsy, Funny Girl, The Secret Garden, Jekyll and Hyde, Oliver, and The Drowsy Chaperone.

"You are seeing the stars of tomorrow...the next generation to carry the musical theatre tradition into the future," said Director and Musical Theatre Professor of Practice, Monte Ralstin.

This year's Freshman Debut presents, Oops: Life Crises and How We Deal with Them, featuring scenes written by the student ensemble themselves, along with a couple scripted pieces by well-known authors like Neil Simon and Tony Kushner.

"The creativity and commitment that came from this group of actors was really inspiring," Assistant Professor David Morden said. "The cast crafted the show themselves, writing pieces based on various themes until we had a treasure trove of scenes, monologues — and even songs. This is a truly talented group of actors and this showcase is just a taste of the great things to come in their time at The UA."
