The Loyola Blakefield Players are pleased to announce that their final production of the 2012 – 2013 season is “The Fantasticks.”
This longest-running Off-Broadway musical was written by Tom Jones, with music by Harvey Schmidt. The show is based on a 19th century play called “Les Romanesques’ by Edmond Rostand.
The story is a comic version of “Romeo and Juliet,” in which two fathers pretend to be feuding in order to trick their children into marriage. Loyola Blakefield senior Kurt Imhoff and junior Daniel Unitas play the conniving fathers, and the duped lovers are portrayed by Loyola sophomore Matthew Demetrides and Carver Center sophomore, Anna Snow.
“The Fantasticks” will be presented in the Mary G. Creaghan Library Thursday through Saturday evenings, May 9, 10, and 11 at 7:00 p.m., with a Sunday matinee on May 12 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10.00 for the general public and can be purchased Monday – Friday from 7:45 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. at the Loyola School Store located in Knott Hall on campus.
