Details:
Garland Civic Theatre presents Follies with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Goldman from March 8-24. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7:30 and Sunday matinees begin at 2:30, all in the Small Theatre in the Granville Arts Center.
Description:
In Follies, the time is 1971, and theatrical impresario, Dimitri Weissmann, hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here" and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present, coming face-to-face with the future. Follies is a true showcase for powerful dramatic actors with plenty of opportunities for seasoned, older performers. Spectacular and grand in scale, Follies has also proven ideal for concert presentation and features many of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs.
