Production Info

Directed by Gina Kaufmann

Music by Kurt Weill, Lyrics by Langston Hughes, & Book by Elmer Rice

Summary

In a working class Manhattan neighborhood in 1929, tensions build as the people in this multi-ethnic neighborhood rub up against one another. The story centers primarily on an extramarital affair and a romance between a Jewish and a gentile teenager, but the rich undertones of longing and the layered relationships bring this entire complex little world to life. Weill called it “An American Opera”, interweaving jazz, musical theatre and classical opera esthetics with spoken word.

STREET SCENE Cast List

Thank-you everyone that came to auditions and callbacks for the Five College Opera Street Scene. We were so pleased to see many students and community members come and audition, and are very excited to being working with you. Below you will find the cast list. Please visit the UMass Department of Theater Curtain Lobby, there you will find a callboard where this list will be posted. Please initial there next you your name to accept your role. If you are a Five College Student and a community member, please e-mail Company Manager Arielle Herold@umass.edu to accept your role. 

Once you have accepted the role, please visit our costume shop downstairs for a measurement session (approx. 15 minutes). If you are a Five College Student or community member please e-mail Arielle to schedule a time for you to come in. 

Please note that if you do not have housing for the spring semester, we will be providing complementary housing. More information will be provided soon.

We are creating a more detailed schedule for the winter break rehearsals that will not require everyone to be here on January 2, 2014. We will instead be implementing a staggered rehearsal schedule to incorporate the majority of the cast later during winter break in order to utilize everybody's time wisely. This information will be distributed in the coming weeks.

A time to pick up vocal scores and scripts will be announced shortly. 


If there are any questions, please e-mail Company Manager Arielle Herold at aherold@umass.edu. Thank-you again, and congratulations!
