Limelight Theatre Presents “The Fantasticks”

12.06.2007

St. Augustine, FL – At the Limelight Theatre, “The Fantasticks” will open on Friday, December 14, 2007 at 7:30PM, with a champagne reception to start at 7:00PM. Performances continue Saturday the 15th, at 7:30PM, Sunday at 2PM and for the next four weeks Thursday – Saturday at 7:30 PM, Saturday and Sunday Matinee at 2:00 PM. The show closes on Saturday, January 12, 2008. Tickets are $25. Student Rush Tickets $10. There will be no Terrific Tuesday performance for this production

    Music by Harvey Schmidt, book and lyrics by Tom Jones, “The Fantasticks” is directed by Limelight Theatre’s Artistic Director, Beth Lambert with musical direction by Shelli Long, of Jacksonville. The cast includes: Leonard Alterman, Penny Endicott, Chris Martin, Alex Nordin, Alex Nunchuck, Don Runk, Juan, Unzueta, Patrick Waters and Caiti Wiggins.

    Talk about a time-proven audience-pleaser! "Try To Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences at New York’s Sullivan Street Playhouse. “The Fantasticks” is the longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.

    Tickets are on sale now and reservations may be made through the Box Office (904) 825-1164. Box Office hours are 10-4 Tuesday – Saturday. The Limelight is located in the Joukowsky Family Foundation Center for the Performing Arts at 11 Old Mission Avenue, uptown St. Augustine.
