| Description |
 An absurdly funny fantasy by Stephen Sondheim & Arthur Laurents (West Side Story & Gypsy), "Anyone Can Whistle" tells the story of a corrupt mayoress (originally played by Angela Lansbury) who fakes a miracle to revitalize her bankrupt town (through the resulting pilgrim trade) and the ill-fated romance between the rational nurse out to expose the fraud and the easy-going doctor determined to enjoy the chaos it brings. In the end, the show delivers a poignant message about the importance of the individual in a conformist society but not before aiming its still-relevant barbs at government, religion, science and anything else that stands in its way! With its circus-like atmosphere, Anyone Can Whistle features a dazzling, melodic Broadway-style score which overflows with the youthful energy of experimentation, consisting of one showstopper after another.
The production is directed by the Moss Hart award winning Christa Crewdson of Belmont, MA. Ms. Crewdsons Un-Common career includes direction of over 30 plays including the acclaimed productions of Les Miserables School Edition, Sweeney Todd and Rent. Ms. Crewdson has taught theatre for the past 16 years including 5 years at the Qualters Middle School in Mansfield and 5 years at Boston Latin where she also serves as Theatre Company Director.
Linda Barbieri of Attleboro, Ma (Music Direction) and Chris Charig of Arlington, Ma (Orchestra Direction) lend their musical expertise to the intricate score.
