Iowa City - City Circle Acting Company of Coralville present West Side Story, its 5th summer musical showcasing the talents of our area's high school students, June 17-19 at the Englert Theatre in downtown Iowa City.
West Side Story, script by Arthur Laurents, sets William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the 1950s inner city. Rival gangs face off as love blooms in the most unlikely of places.
Featuring some of the best-loved theater songs of all time, including "Somewhere", "Tonight" and "Something's Coming", the score, by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein, will be brought to life by a full orchestra under the direction of Ed Kottick. Dr. Kottick, Professor of Music at the University of Iowa, has directed several local theatrical orchestras, including My Fair Lady, Wonderful Town and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the latter in S.T. Morrison Park in summer of 2008. Directed by veteran and City Circle founder Michael Stokes and featuring the choreography of Leslie Nolte of Coralville's Notle Academy of Dance, this will be an unmissable theatrical experience. Tickets available through City Circle's website or by calling (319)688-2653.
