The overture begins, the Mute (Shane Thompson)enters, sees the audience
and gestures to the other players to join him on the platform upon which
the show will be played. A tattered drape which is lettered "The
Fantasticks" hangs at the front of the platform. At stage right, there
is a large box of theatrical props.  The rest of the cast listens as El
Gallo(Rick Reed) sings "Try To Remember" to the audience, encouraging
them to recall the tender Septembers of their youth.

El Gallo introduces The Boy (Matt Streifert), The Girl (Alana
Sangiacomo) their Fathers (Bill Depew and Tom Heckert) and the wall that
separates them. He explains that The Girl began to notice a change in
her ugly duckling features when she reached 15. Now 16, her sudden
prettiness has led her to suspect that she is a princess. She relates
how when a bird woke her up this morning, she put on her mother's
necklace and her eyes changed color ("Bird Magic").  She then pleads for
a life that is beyond the everyday and full of magic ("Much More").  
The Boy enters and declares his love for The Girl. A wall appears in the
form of a stick held by The Mute. Their parents had built it to keep The
Boy and The Girl apart.  In spite of it, the young couple vow to be
together ("Metaphor"). They discuss the risks they have taken to meet at
the wall, obviously savoring every moment of the danger. The Girl
reports a dream in which The Boy saved her from being abducted by a band
of scoundrels (Jack Dowd and Michael Camelo). In her dream, after her
dramatic rescue, their warring fathers agreed to allow them to live
happily ever after.

However, they are brought back to reality by the appearance of The Boy's
Father in the garden. He threatens to make it even harder for the young
couple to see each other. The Boy responds by insisting that he will
only marry a girl of his own choosing ("I'll Marry"). He leaves as The
Girl is joined by her father, who orders her inside..What happens next?
Come see the show and enjoy the most simple tale ever told with songs
you will sing all the way home.

Dippold, choreography by Sara Fitizzi and produced by Debbie Lummis.
