 DISASTER

STAGE DOOR THEATRE (in Conifer):

June 5 - 28


                                  The cast of DISASTER

Written by Jack Plotnick and Seth Rudetsky, "DISASTER" is escapist entertainment of the knee-slapping, over-the-top variety. Run to get tickets!

Director (and music director)Tanner Kelly does a superb job of milking this hilarious comedy for every fun and funny joke. Adding his unique take on the script with inventive stagecraft and hysterical special effects,  the evening flies by. 

The floating cruise casino called The Barracuda, and the doomed destiny thereof is the subject of this musical comedy that's a parody of every disaster movie of the 1970s. However ... "DISASTER" not only spoofs "Earthquake,"" Airport," "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno." It also gives us as audience, non-stop remembrance (and nostalgia?) about the disco tunes and cheesy, tear-jerky romantic songs of the era.  Among these are: "I am Woman," "Feelings," "Three Times a Lady,""Don't Cry Out Loud" and many, many, many more. 

     The cast is enormous!!!  A few of the stand-outs are: Andy Ray (Ted Scheider), Brian Trampler (Maury Winters), Jennifer Burnett (Shirley Winters) Thurzday ( Levora Verona), Isabella Duran (Sister Mary Downey), Brekken Baker (Marianne Wilson), Gavin Juckette(Chad Rubik) and Cooper Kaminsky as Tony Delvecchio.

The vocals of all these artists are outstanding!

 Heather Westenskow's choreography enhances the production with manic dancing that fills the stage.

Biz Schaugaard and Dean Arniotes get credit for the very fun set design.

Lighting designer Jon Weeks and Sound designer Russ Kirby work in tandem to illustrate the explosive events onstage.
