THE PLAYERS CENTRE CONTINUES ITS SUMMER SIZZLER SERIES WITH “SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL” Contact Name: Amanda Heisey Contact Email: amandah@theplayers.org Contact Phone Number: 941-365-2494 Sarasota, FL – July 2, 2019 – From July 10 through 21, see the exciting, ‘60s musical SHOUT! The MOD Musical! With its irresistible blend of hip-swiveling hits, eye-popping fashions and outrageous dance moves, SHOUT! The Mod Musical takes audiences back to the music, style and freedom of the 1960s. Created by Phillip George and David Lowenstein, SHOUT! features terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as "To Sir with Love," "Downtown," "Son of a Preacher Man" and of course “Shout.” Story: The review follows five groovy gals as they come of age during those glorious days that made England swing. Traveling in time from 1960 to 1970, SHOUT! chronicles the dawning liberation of women, redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about gender. With a shimmy and shake, the songs are tied together by hilarious sound bites from the period – from '60s advertisements to letters answered by an advice columnist who thinks that every problem can be solved with a "fetching new hair style and a new shade of lipstick." The songs in this delightful musical resonate with a timeless quality that appeals to every generation. Directed and choreographed by Brian Finnerty, music direction by Debbi White, assistant to the director Raina Khatami, stage management by Nick Catanzaro, costumes by Tim Beltley, lighting design by Ethan Vail and set design by Jeff Weber, this upbeat fun-filled musical will have you dancing in the aisle.
