FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Norma NeveJuly 20, 2008 231-386-5001 WEST SIDE STORY OPENS EIGHT PERFORMANCE RUN ATNORTHPORT COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER JULY 24 NORTHPORT, MI – West Side Story, a twentieth century musical interpretation of Romeo and Juliet set among the street gangs of Manhattan’s Upper West Side in the 1950s, opens Thursday, July 24 in Northport, just months before the play opens for another run on Broadway. Locally, West Side Story is scheduled for eight performances between July 24 and August 3.. Presented by Theatre North TC, West Side Story recounts the rivalry between an Italian-American gang and a Puerto Rican gang in late 1950s New York. When the leader of the Italian-American gang falls in love with the sister of the leader of the rival gang, the stage is set for conflict and the dark theme of star crossed lovers. A cast of 30 talented actors and actresses, many of whom are students at area high schools and colleges, make the music and dance scenes come alive with youthful passion and enthusiasm. The sophisticated West Side Story score, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, include well known and loved tunes like “Maria,” “I Feel Pretty,” and “One Hand, One Heart” making West Side Story as beloved by audiences today as it was when first produced 51 years ago. Tickets for West Side Story are $20 for adults and $10 for children from pre-school age through 12th grade. They can be ordered by calling the NCAC at 231-386-5001 or online at www.northportcac.org.
