 SWF production photo: Michael C. Flores gets make-up assistance from Mallory Parker. The original La Cage aux Folles was a French farce written in 1973 by Jean Poiret. It was adapted to a film five years later, then into a musical version five years after that. Many folks who aren't familiar with title might better know the story through the vantage point of the successful 1996 American film remake. The Birdcage (starring such famous names like Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Christine Baranski, and Calista Flockhart), opened at #1 on the US box office charts and stayed there for three weeks before continuing on as a favorite guilty pleasure among video rental houses (r.i.p.) and streaming sites alike.

 Josh Plowman as Michael in SAC's production of "Be More Chill". Photo by Kyle/Brandon Lowe. Our friends at the Selma Arts Center are excited to present the Central Valley premiere of Be More Chill. This new musical follows a high school loser, Jeremy Heere, who swallows a pill-sized super computer to help him become popular. Fool Christy Hathway, who served as assistant director for the production, sat down for a Q&A with actor Josh Plowman. Josh plays the role of Michael (Jeremy’s best friend) in the show. These questions cover Michael's back story as well as Josh's reasons for loving the show. Many other Fools are involved in this production, including founding Fools Dominic Grijalva (projections) and Kyle Lowe (band), some of our favorite performers (Jessica Meredith, Randy Kohlruss, and Teya Juarez), and make-up/hair artist, Logan Cooley. The show was directed by our very own marketing designer/ board member, Miguel "Migs" Gastelum. All pictures on this post are by Kyle and Brandon Lowe, for the art center. |
