'White Christmas' coming to Shelton
Gary & Francesca Scarpa's Center Stage Theatre may not be widely known beyond Shelton and the Lower Naugatuck Valley, but the couple has produced and directed more than 100 productions over a 46-year career -- in Shelton as well as at educational and experimental theaters in the state.
In December, Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" will take Center Stage for a two-plus-week run, it was announced recently.
The show follows WWII veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, who have a successful song-and-dance act after the war.
The two are smitten with a duo of beautiful singing sisters who are en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just is owned by Bob and Phil's former army commander. The 1954 movie score featured standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the great title song crooned by Bing Crosby.
The show will be directed by Al Recchia and choregraphed by Robert Merante, with music and lyrics by Berlin and the book by David Ives and Paul Blake.
