After a year of virtual productions, Open Stage will once again invite live audiences into the theatre. The first production of their season is
Over the Rainbow: The Songs of Judy Garland. Beginning May 28, this cabaret features local performers Rachel Landon, Stacey Werner, and Carly Lafferty under the music direction of Nicholas Werner. Director Stuart Landon commented, "We wanted to produce shows that will bring light and happiness into people's lives. A concert featuring Judy Garland's songs will be a show for folks looking for something joyous and fun. She's an icon and she gave us a lifetime of songs that any person can enjoy." I was recently given the opportunity to pop in on a rehearsal and speak with the performers.
