The Roosevelt Island Daily News
(5/10/22, Roosevelt Island, NY, NY) On May 20-22, The Main Street Theatre teen students, under the direction of Jacqueline Lucid, are set to take the stage once again in CURTAINS, the Tony and Drama Desk award-winning musical comedy featuring one of the last scores by the legendary songwriting team of Kander & Ebb.
“It’s the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959. Boston’s Colonial Theatre is host to the opening night performance of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage the entire cast & crew are suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan! Packed with glorious tunes and a witty, charming script filled with delightful characters, CURTAINS is a hilarious journey for both performers and the audience.” – Theatrical Rights Worldwide
