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.
