Directed by Frank Leavitt, Music directed by Adam Paul Fine, and choreographed by Trish Scott, the performances will be April 27, 28, May 3, 4, 5 at 8:00pm and April 29 at 2:00pm. The Drowsy Chaperone is a musical within a comedy that pays tribute to the Larger-Than-Life musicals of the 1920's. The music begins, and the Man in the Chair's apartment is transformed; he stages the musical for us, and as he becomes more swept up in the love story - complete with gangsters, showgirls, and of course the Drowsy (drunk) Chaperone – the Man in the Chair brings us along with him... This light hearted musical speaks to the desire within all of us, to simply be entertained. The RPI Players is a student run community theater. While RPI students are the primary participants in the organization, auditions and production roles are open to all community members.
