\n\t\t<\/object>KINGSTON, RI\u2014April 10, 2012 \u2013Sit back and get ready to laugh, cry and be thoroughly entertained. The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Department of Theatre will present Singin\u2019 in the Rain this month.<\/p>\n


\n\tSingin\u2019 in the Rain is the most popular, most watched movie musical of all time. Our production is a direct, stage version of the film with all the romance, Hollywood glamour, show-stopping dance numbers and solid storyline to make it a memorable challenge,\u201d says 溏心vlog免费B站 Theatre Department Chair Paula McGlasson who directs the play.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe show will be staged April 25 to 29 at 7:30 p.m. and April 28 and April 29 at 2 p.m. in the Robert E. Will Theatre in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Fine Arts Center, 105 Upper College Road, Kingston. General admission is $20, and $15 for students. Tickets can be purchased by calling 401.874.5843 or online at www.uri.edu\/theatre.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe play is set in 1927. Don Lockwood and Lina LaMont are the toast of Tinseltown until \u201ctalkies\u201d come on the scene. Many moviegoers will recall Gene Kelly joyously tap dancing puddles in the famous MGM film. Andrew Burnap who made a big splash this winter by winning the Irene Ryan Acting Award for the Northeast region of the American College Theatre Festival, plays the Gene Kelly lead. Because Burnap will compete nationally at the Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C. later this month, the theater department will present the play for one week instead of its nomal two weeks.<\/p>\n


\n\tSingin\u2019 in the Rain has more than 200 costumes, 19 different scenic locales, rolling and flying drops and set units, hundreds of lighting cues, a cast of around 30, offstage crew that is close to the size of the onstage cast, tap dancing, four filmed segments shown on multiple projectors on numerous screens, a live orchestra, and one unique set piece that must function to produce rain onstage.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cAt times I feel like Ziegfeld,\u201d says director McGlasson. \u201cEach decision must be made in consideration of light changes, set changes, costume changes, budget, equipment availability, and personnel availability. I’m fortunate to have the best designers, cast, and staff. Without their intelligence and creativity and resourcefulness, the show could not go on!\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tMusical direction is by guest artist, Lila Kane; costume design by David T. Howard; sets by 溏心vlog免费B站 alumna Cheryl deWardener; lighting design by Christian Wittwer; and sound design by guest artist, Mike Hyde.<\/p>\n
