The Blakefield Players Announce 2017–18 Season
The Loyola Blakefield Players are pleased to announce their 2017–18 season. The first show is the comedy The Front Page by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, which runs from October 13–21, 2017. This play is a hilarious farce about a death row fugitive who escapes from the police on the same day the Governor issues his pardon. Fearful he will be taken to the gallows, the convict hides in the precinct right under the cops’ noses, unaware that he has been granted his freedom.
The spring musical, the American favorite The Music Man, with book, music, and lyrics by Meredith Willson, runs March 9–18, 2018. When con man Harold Hill comes to River City, Iowa, he is intent on duping the naïve town folk, only to fall in love with Marian the librarian. This Broadway classic is one of the most critically-acclaimed musicals of all time and is filled with one toe-tapping tune after another.
The final production of the season is a comic adaptation of the Hitchcock thriller, The Thirty-Nine Steps, written by John Buchan and adapted by Patrick Barlow. The play, which features lightning-quick costume changes as actors switch between multiple roles, is a spoof of the suspense genre, and will be presented May 10–13, 2018.
All performances of the 2017-18 season will be presented in the Mary G. Creaghan Library on Loyola Blakefield's campus. Performance times are Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:00 p.m., with Sunday matinees presented at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $12.00 for the general public, and $6.00 for students and may be purchased in advance online at loyolablakefield.org/dramatics, or at the door on the evening of the performance.
