R-S Theatrics presents: Love? Actually... - Three Acts of Semi-Requited Love

R-S Theatrics is proud to kick off our 6th Season: The Season of Semi-Requited Love with a 3-act night of musical entertainment entitled Love? Actually...

Act 1: Out of a Bowl
Every performer in both pieces will have learned a solo number, be a part of a duet, be a part of a small group number, and a full group number. Every night, 4 audience members will pull a piece of paper out of a bowl that contains every possible outcome/combination - and that will be Act 1.

Act 2: Thyrsis & Amaranth by Steven Serpa
A modern telling of a French fable, and R-S' first opera, examines what happens when a young woman decides to finally reveal to a childhood friend her passionate feelings.

Starring:
Thyrsis - Lindsay Rae Gingrich
Amaranth - Eileen Engel

Act 3: 21 Chump Street by Lin-Manuel Miranda
Based on actual events (and written by the star and writer of Hamilton and In the Heights) the one-act musical follows a high school student named Justin as he falls for the new girl in class, unaware that she is there on assignment.
