There is something for everyone to enjoy at the performance of Babes In Arms, Country Day School's latest Broadway-style spring musical.

Set in 1950s Cape Cod, a group of ambitious, starving apprentices literally steal the show from the treacherous theatre owner who is running their beloved playhouse into the ground.

These teenaged "babes" use every tool at their disposal for the chance to perform in front of an audience and to be seen by the people that can make them stars. Not surprisingly, there is quite a bit of backstabbing and mischief.

"I am always amazed by the talent our students display," says Director Duane R. Minton. "Most people are aware of how well our kids sing and act,

but I think the big surprise will come when the dancing is experienced. The dance numbers take this show to a new level."

The orchestra, led by Loren Hughes, has been working equally as hard. "We are proud that our school has been able to assemble a pit orchestra out of our most talented music students rather than bringing in professional musicians," says Headmaster Jim Sadler. "It really enhances the live theater experience, and it is a major achievement for our students to learn and play an entire musical score."

 

Babes In Arms will be performed in the CDS Pavilion. Tickets are $7.00 for adults and $3.00 for students.
