CYRANO DE BERGERAC

by Edmond Rostrand Adapted by Martin Crimp featuring the 3rd Year Actors

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE (abridged)

Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison

Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar featuring the 3rd Year Musical Theatre Students

About Cyrano de Ber gerac:

Set in 17th-century Paris, the action revolves around the emotional problems of the noble, swashbuckling Cyrano, who, despite his many gifts, feels that no woman can ever love him because he has an enormous nose. Secretly in love with the lovely Roxane, Cyrano agrees to help his inarticulate rival, Christian, win her heart by allowing him to present Cyrano’s love poems, speeches, and letters as his own work.

About The Drowsy Chaperone:

With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
