Cygnet Theatre Announces Page to Stage in Association with SDPL
A Free Educational Program in Association with San Diego Public Library
Performances Run June 17 – July 15
SAN DIEGO, CA – Cygnet Theate is pleased to present From the Page to the
Stage in association with San Diego Public Library. This free educational
program is a fun and engaging 45-minute presentation designed to inspire a
love of reading in both children and adults through the magic and joy of live
theatre.
This educational programming is designed to help children understand how
works of literature from Cervantes to Mark Twain to Charles Schulz can end up
on the musical stage, demonstrating the power of imagination in both reading
and performing arts. Young audiences will enjoy these exciting “mini-shows”
put on by professional musical theatre performers featuring selections from
popular musicals based on classic literary works such as Big River, Man of La
Mancha, Seussical the Musical, Wicked and You’re a Good Man Charlie
Brown.
From the Page to the Stage will take place at select branches June 17 – July
15 as part of San Diego Public Library’s 2023 Summer Reading Program: Find
your Voice with additional performances coming soon. Check the website for
updates. RSVP is not required to attend.
The program is headed up by Cygnet Theatre’s Education and Outreach
Director Carlos Mendoza. The cast includes Krista Feallock, Cody Ingram,
Kimberly Moller, and DeAndre Simmons. The show is directed and
choreographed by Lee Martino with musical direction by Korrie Yamaoka.
Mendoza said,
“From the Page to the Stage was performed at the Long Beach
Summer Reading series in 2013 and I must say that I have never, in over 10
years of working in education and outreach, heard such unanimously rave
reviews of this kind of program. It’s fun, colorful, engaging, stimulating, stirring
and immersive, a great way to take live theatre to the next level, as I believe
every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive.”
From the Page to the Stage was written by Kevin McMahon and originally produced by Musical Theatre Guild, Los Angeles, CA.
