Home > Our Shows > Spring 2007

Returning to our theater roots, FPP's Spring 2007 lineup included a little of everything: drama, comedy and of course a musical.

We opened the season with our first ever Musical Cabaret, consisting of eight scenes from eight brand new directors. Over 50 people auditioned for the cabaret, making it one of our most popular events ever and a great opportunity for people to get involved with the company and showcase their musical talent.


Adam Linet, who had a hand in almost every one of our productions over his four years at GW, had his stint at the helm as director of "The Last Night of Ballyhoo." He was joined by now Co-Executive Producer, Ben Pollack and Lend Me a Tenor director Andrew Rabin, and the cast of 'Ballyhoo' featured both Publicity Director Allie Hagan and former Executive Producer Chris Heffron in his second (and final) show.

  
Cast (in order of appearance):

Reba Freitag: Marissa Bialecki

Beaula Levy: Allie Hagan

Lala Levy: Jenny Kate Barkin

Adolph Freitag: Chris Heffron

Joe Farkas: Jason Ioannides

Sunny Freitag: Sam Last

Peachy Weil: Colby Katz-Lapides


Now-Executive Producer Katherine Nelson directed "The Marraige Counselor" late in the semester.


     The season closed with a bang--or a "boom-splat," if you will, with our production of Sondheim's "Into the Woods," a twisted fairy-tale fantasy based on the Grimms brother's stories. "Into the Woods" was directed by veteran performer Jon Conners, and featured a multitude of new FPP stars.
