Nearly 200 Local Student Actors Take the Stage with TYT

Triboro Youth Theatre Invites Community to Attend Family-friendly Performances

Posted

Attleboro, Mass – Triboro Youth Theatre (TYT) is pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale for its Winter Season productions. TYT is putting on three different family-friendly shows with nearly 160 local-area student actors combined.

The productions are directed by Eric Langmeyer of Weymouth and Patrick McCrossan of Foxboro. Mr. Langmeyer helmed the TYT production of “Frozen, Jr.” this past July, and Mr. McCrossan co-directs at Qualters Middle School in Mansfield. The actors have been working since the beginning of September learning lines, mastering choreography and exploring the importance of comedic timing when delivering a joke.

“It is wonderful to see the transformation that happens in the acting ensemble from when we’re starting out through the performances,” said Dave Renoni, Executive Director of Triboro Youth Theatre. “Over the course of eight weeks these actors learn a lot more than just lines. They’re working together as a cast to tell their stories, and that takes time, dedication and determination on the part of everyone.”

Tickets can be purchased at www.triboroyouththeatre.org and all performances are held at Thacher Elementary School in Attleboro, MA.

The Drowsy Chaperone
Friday, December 13 and Saturday, December 14 at 7 p.m.
With the house lights down, the “Man in Chair” puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. Featuring actors in 9th - 12th grade and a live orchestra, “The Drowsy Chaperone” comes to life in the Man’s living room as he reminisces. The story of two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone will leave you in stitches. Don’t miss this show! Tickets are $12 for students/seniors and $18 for adults.
