"A Chorus Line" debuts in Pelham Theater


It’s a rough life for the chorus and those who dream big. This is the premise of James Kirkwood’s A Chorus Line directed by Future Planet Productions’ Melissa Passarelli.

At first, it was a usual chorus audition, with a group of buzzing actors, dancers and singers hoping and praying that they could have the opportunity to be seen one more time on stage. After an elimination process, the narrative turns into a web of personal stories when the director challenges every person auditioning to “open up” and talk.

The stories range from awkward pre-teen incidents, to heartbreak and broken dreams. In this string of united stories, the dancers find much more than their own reason to perform, but faith in their similar aspirations, beliefs, fears and dreams.

A Chorus Line “is a show that anyone who has ever done anything for love can relate to,” said director Melissa Passarelli. “Everyone who sees it will laugh and cry.”

A Chorus Line is playing in the Pelham Theater on:
Thursday, November 18th at 7:30pm
Friday, November 19th at 7 and 10pm
Saturday, November 20th at 7 and 10pm
