Stage Door

Be sure to catch our own Hannah Homnick in the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre's current production of Stage Door. Gull Lake alumna Stacy Bartell is properties master, too.

Theater buffs will love the backstage drama and comedy in this classic. The Civic says, "It's often said that there's a broken heart for every light on Broadway. Modeled on the actual Rehearsal Club in Manhattan, this fast paced American classic traces the hopes, dreams and disappointments of aspiring actresses living in the Footlights Club, a popular boarding house for young theatricals. The adventures of these talented young women and their gentlemen callers unfold as we get to know the dancers, actors, and waitresses who are looking for their first big break. Written by Kalamazoo native Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman, Stage Door offers a wonderfully nostalgic look at the Broadway of a bygone era." The show runs through April 25. Check the Civic's website for schedule and tickets.
