“The Drowsy Chaperone”

PRODUCER: 6th Street Playhouse presents

WHAT: “The Drowsy Chaperone”
Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison
Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar

What happens when a lonely man has a love affair with his favorite Broadway musical? “The Drowsy Chaperone,” a classic, jazz-age musical-comedy and all its hilarious characters come to life in his living room.

The Tony awarding-winning Broadway hit “The Drowsy Chaperone” is the ultimate love letter to musical theater as it delights with pure escapism when a man’s vivid imagination transforms his drab apartment into a glittering showcase of show stopping singing and dancing, dazzling costumes and magical sets.

At the heart of this show within a show is the “man in the chair,” who leads the audience in and out of reality when he plays the LP of his favorite cast recording “The Drowsy Chaperone,” a fabled 1928 musical featuring all the usual suspects – a conflicted Broadway starlet and an eclectic parade of show people, servants, gangsters and absent-minded millionaires – all entangled in a classic, old-fashioned, musical-comedy of mix-ups and mayhem.

The “man in the chair” says his favorite show does what a musical is supposed to do. “It takes you to another world and gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you’re feeling blue.”
Directed by Gene Abravaya
Musical direction by Janis Wilson

“A Christmas Story”
By Phillip Grecian / Based on the classic motion picture by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark

Grab your Ovaltine and Little Orphan Annie Secret Society Decoder Pin and turn on the “Old Man’s” leg lamp, because the holiday season is here and it just isn’t complete until everyone tells Ralphie “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

It’s the stage adaptation of the classic holiday film, “A Christmas Story,” without the commercial interruptions – all Ralphie Parker’s holiday memories are recalled, including painful experiments with ice, a mildly inappropriate lamp and an obsession with a Red Ryder BB gun.

Directed by Bronwen Shears.

Title:

West Coast Premiere of
“Kite’s Book: Tales of an 18th Century Hitman”
A sword-slinging, pistol-dueling,
maiden-saving, jolly good time!
PRODUCER: 6th Street Playhouse presents the West Coast Premiere of

WHAT: “Kite’s Book: Tales of an 18th Century Hitman,”
By Robert Caisely

Set in London in the 1750s, “Kite’s Book,” by Robert Caisely is a sword-slinging, pistol-dueling, maiden-saving, jolly good time – with a fervent and poignant examination of the many variations on, and the disparities within, the human ideal that “Justice must be served!”

The play opens with the young hero, Will Carew, being strapped to four horses, which, at any second, will be sent hurdling off in all four directions. He speaks his last words, which unfold a tale of intrigue, villainy, murder, corruption, and revenge – and that’s just in the first three pages!

“Kite’s Book” is a rousing, swashbuckling, action-packed stage play featuring Rahman Dalrymple as 18th Century hitman, Harry Kite and Barry Martin as Judge Hardwick.

Directed by Craig A. Miller.

Wine Spectrum owner Glenn Siegel debuts

his new rock opera at 6th Street Playhouse

SANTA ROSA, CA – He may be the owner and president of Wine Spectrum located in Santa Rosa’s Historic Railroad Square, but for Glenn Siegel of Sebastopol, music remains his first passion.

A guitarist, singer and composer, Siegel has written more than two hundred songs. For the last three years Siegel has concentrated his musical efforts on “Great War Chronicle,” a rock opera set during World War I.

Siegel’s dream of seeing the musical performed for an audience will be realized Aug. 19 to Aug. 28, 2011 when the 6th Street Playhouse in Santa Rosa presents a workshop production of “Great War Chronicle” in its studio theater.

“This was an unexpected work of spontaneous songwriting that erupted over a six-week period,” said Siegel. ”When I realized what was happening, I got caught up in it. I was intrigued by the era and was inspired and excited to tell a classic story in a mixed genre format. Hence the modern music.”
