“We’re thrilled to bring back our annual musical”, notes Dan Watson, Executive Director of Huntsville Festival of the Arts. “So many in our community have missed live performance during the pandemic. The annual Spring Musical is a popular and much anticipated event. We are looking forward to providing the opportunity for our community to experience live theatre again, and this is a fantastic opportunity for local actors to be part of its return”.
Rehearsals will take place Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons starting in January. The musical will run for seven performances at the Algonquin Theatre in Huntsville from April 1st to 10th, 2022. COVID-19 restrictions will be as per the provincial COVID-19 regulations on the date of event.
The production will feature a talented and seasoned creative team led by Director Mallary Davenport. Mallary is a trained theatre artist who is the owner of the Monarch Performing Arts Studio and also directed a production of Oliver for Huntsville Festival of the Arts in 2018.
Now in its 12th year, this annual spring Musical Production is a collaboration between Huntsville Festival of the Arts and the Rotary Club of Huntsville.
