The Broadway Cabaret will showcase a wide variety of local talent including Ashley Rae and Hillary Little from Cabrillo Stage, Joyce Michaelson and Susan Boes of Um Gee Um, Eleanor Hunter, Christina Cree and Brie Michaud, Geoff (Buffalo Bill Cody from Annie Get Your Gun) and Bobbie Ward, David Jackson and Zina Urquhart from Annie Get Your Gun, and Sandi Stoltenkamp from Santa Cruz Follies. The SVPA Youth Shakespeare group will present a short "montage" from its summer production of Romeo and Juliet, CYT will be performing a selection from Snoopy: the Musical, and Steps will also perform.
The silent auction will offer attendees the opportunity to get great deals on a number of special items, which include a group dinner at an Aptos beach house, Adventure Sports gift certificate, Sky High Jump certificates, and jewelry just to name a few. Money raised from the auction will be used to support upcoming 2012 productions, including the Youth Shakespeare program and its fall musical, Annie. Trish Melehan and Lisa Kirk-Williams will be directing the younger performers in Mother Goose meets Dr. Seuss and Other Strange Encounters July 14 and 15, and Romeo and Juliet July 20 to 22. SVPA is pleased to have Paul Sawyer return as director of Annie (based upon the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie ) that will open September 28 and run to October 14.
