Theatre Guild: “And The Show Did Go On”

JACKSON – Members of The Four Seasons at South Knolls Theatre Guild had the biggest smiles on their faces for three consecutive nights at they received standing ovations for their theatrical production, “Broadway Meets Pop.”

It was a sellout to very happy audiences who were treated to a collection of song, dance and of course comedy skits that brought the house down.

This show, which was originally scheduled three years ago, was delayed due to the pandemic, but this fun-loving group knew their time had come. Weekly rehearsals drew this Guild together to perform their numbers to perfection. You could see how their audi- ence was amazed that their neighbors and friends had such hidden talent. “Broadway Meets Pop” was written and directed by residents Rose Ciaburri & Maria Esposito Besignano. Resident Frank Ricucci was the technical director and Ben Leibowitz was the narrator.

Numbers included selections from Broadway and TV shows, including “Cabaret,” “Guys and Dolls,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall,” “West Side Story,” and “Hair” just to name a few. The show was performed on the rainiest weekend in April, but that didn’t deter the audience from arriving on time. As they say, “And a fun time was had by all.”
