(From the Pacific Sun - July 2, 2010)
And all that jazz...
Murder! Greed! Corruption! Violence! Exploitation! Treachery! Plus a whole lotta exhilarating song and dance. The award-winning musical that has it all, CHICAGO, opens Marin Summer Theater's season with a talented cast of 13- to 23-year-old students—and that includes musicians, technicians and crew. The theater group, sponsored by San Marin Music Boosters with support from the high school and the Novato school district, presents three shows in seven weeks—Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead and Some Enchanted Evening—The Songs and Dance of Rodgers and Hammerstein follow later this month and next. Preview performance Thursday, July 8, at 8pm; regular performances Friday, July 9, and Saturday, July 10, at 8pm and Sunday, July 11, at 2pm at the Emily Gates Student Center at San Marin High School, 15 San Marin Dr., Novato.
