Director Announcement for White Christmas

THE FCOA Board of Directors has selected Ted Smith to direct White Christmas for FCOA in December 2010.  

Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical adaptation features seventeen Irving Berlin songs and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake. Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil's former army commander. The dazzling score features well known standards including Blue Skies, I Love A Piano, How Deep Is the Ocean and the perennial favorite, White Christmas.

Director Ted Smith has recently directed the 2009 Applefest production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  He has also directed Kiss Me, Kate!, Wizard of Oz, Sweet Charity, 2x5, The Hollow, Mass Appeal and the 2008 FCOA 50th Anniversary Gala.

Additional production team members will be announced soon.   This blog will serve as the primary source of ongoing information, updates, and previews of what's to come with White Christmas at the Barrow-Civic Theatre, including audition announcements, casting info and more.

Show dates for White Christmas are December 10-12 and 17-18, 2010 at the Barrow-Civic Theatre.   Auditions dates will be in October 2010, exact dates TBA.
