I’ve just confirmed with the box office at The Depot Theatre that the Careless Love actors and crew are ready for show time. Tonight at 8:00 PM the 2012 season kick off with a world premier of Ryan G. Dunkin’s energetic musical, directed by Allegra Libonati and musical direction by David Finch.
Following the show the audience is invited to celebrate with the cast and crew for the first of four opening night receptions this season. If you’ve never attended, you’ve missed out on one of the highlights of summer! It’s thrilling to meet the real people behind the magic after being dazzled in the theatre, and I find that the actors are always eager to meet the audience.
The Depot’s new Managing Director, Angel Wuellner, is already smitten with Careless Love:
