Last night in Crownsville, an amazing group of young people realized the result of their weekends, mornings, and nights of work. Indian Creek Upper School students presented Cole Porter’s Anything Goes to an enthusiastic audience at the Jack and Nancy Center for the Performing Arts on the Indian Creek School Upper School Campus.
Billy, Reno, Moonface, Bonnie, Hope and Sir Evelyn had the audience on their feet with the convoluted love stories based on the years of the New Deal. Ensemble taps numbers revealed the depth of talent in the cast. Solos, duets and trios showcased the vocal range of the main characters.
The songs are familiar — I get a Kick Out of You, Easy to Love, You’re the Top, Friendship, Delovely, and, of course, Anything Goes are so familiar that they could be risky for a young cast. The gang pulled them off with skill and joy all accompanied by the pit orchestra playing from the upper deck of the SS American on stage.
You can catch a great couple o hours of entertainment tonight at 7:00 p.m. or tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are only $10 each and available at the door. For directions to Indian Creek’s Upper School Camps, google the intersection of Crownsville Road and Hawkins Road. You’ll see the sign right there.
