According to Rich Kimball, the Brewer Youth Theater’s next production is a “big, old show” that is filled with “lots of great music, and will be lots of fun for the whole family.”

The youth theater presents “Wonderful Town” at 7 each night, Thursday, May 17, through Saturday, May 19, at Brewer Middle School, 5 Somerset St.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students.

“This is an old-fashioned-style Broadway musical, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Betty Condon and Adolph Green,” Kimball said.

“It is a great, old show that debuted in 1953 on Broadway, and is the story of two sisters from Ohio who move to New York City during the Depression.

“One is trying to make it as an actress, and one is trying to make it as a writer.”

The show is “actually based on a collection of stories called ‘My Sister Eileen’ that also was made into a movie,” he added.

The big cast includes approximately 40 Brewer High School students and Brewer Middle School pupils.

The lead characters of Ruth and Eileen are played by Erika Cote and Lexi Marceron.

Kimball added that Matt McLaughlin “plays Bob Baker, who is a magazine editor,” and that Jamie Bartol “plays Frank, the manager of the local Walgreens.”

Anthony Severance appears as newspaper reporter Chick Clark.

Elysa Woodhead “is the girls’ neighbor Helen; and Matt Adams “is her football player boyfriend, Rick.”
