American Classic, Anything Goes, May 2-18, 2008


APRIL 15, 2008: BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Bainbridge High School drama department is proud to present the Cole Porter American classic, Anything Goes, in six performances this May.

“Anything Goes is a show about exuberance, joy, love and the zany, crazy philosophy declared in the title,” said Seb Nielsen, Director. “The Bainbridge High School cast and crew have brilliantly embraced the challenge of Anything Goes and this production is guaranteed to refresh and energize audiences of all ages,” he added. Debbie Hill, BHS Choir Director, serves as Vocal Music Director and Marie Elena Baker is Costume Designer.

Nielsen’s philosophy as a Director includes encouraging as much student participation as possible. “The Anything Goes’ band is composed and led by students and the choreography by BHS juniors Katie Donais, Sophie Tschida and Maggie Hotchkiss leaves you wondering if they have somehow channeled Bob Fosse!” he said. Over forty BHS students appear in the song-and-dance filled production.

Anything Goes premiered in 1934 and has been revived multiple times in the United States and abroad to much acclaim. A timeless tale of boy-meets-girl and the intrigue and complications that ensue, the story is wrapped around an enchanting Porter score that sparkles with some of the most memorable songs from the American musical theatre songbook ever - Anything Goes, It's De-Lovely, You’re The Top, I Get A Kick Out of You, Easy to Love and Blow, Gabriel, Blow are but a few songs in the tune-packed score.

Performances are May 2nd through May 18th (Fridays - May 2nd and May 9th at 7:30 PM, Saturdays - May 3rd, 10th and 17th at 7:30 PM and Sunday May 18th at 2:30 PM) at the Bainbridge High School theatre. Tickets are just $5 for children, ASB students and seniors and $10 for all others. Tickets may be purchased at the door when it opens 45 minutes prior to curtain. For more information, call BHS at 206-842-2634.

The BHS production of Anything Goes is produced through special arrangement with Tams Witmark.
