A Little Night Music
Washington Area Community Theater Honors (WATCH) Nomination Outstanding featured actress in a musical     The Arlington Players present A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC June 1 - 17, 2012 www.thearlingtonplayers.org The Arlene and Robert Kogod Cradle - The Mead Center for American Theater, 1101 6th Street SW, Washington, DC 20024 This story centers on three mismatched couples in Sweden. Desiree Armfeldt, an actress, is having an affair with Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm who is married to Countess Charlotte Malcolm. Fredrik Egerman, a lover from Desiree's past, is married to the young and virginal Anne. Henrik Egerman, Fredrik's son and a divinity student, is in love with his stepmother Anne. The romantic comedy of errors and intrigue features such characters as Anne’s saucy maid Petra, Desiree's worldly wise mother Madame Armfeldt, and Desiree's daughter, Fredrika, through whose eyes we see so much of the story. It is a story of love, humor, self-discovery, and timing amidst gossip and intrigue in the Swedish land of the midnight sun. The show debuted on Broadway in 1973 and received six Tony awards including best book, best original score, and best musical. (Description is taken in part from Sondheim.com) STAFF: Producer: John K.

NINE
 By Arthur Kopit with music/lyrics by Maury Yeston.Synopsis:Guido Contini, famous Italian film director, has turned forty and faces a double crises: he has to shoot a film for which he can't write the script, and his wife of twenty years, the film star Luisa del Forno, may be about to leave him if he can't pay more attention to the marriage. As it turns out, it is the same crisis. The story is based on Federico Fellini's semi-autobiographical film 8½. It focuses on film director Guido Contini, savoring his most recent (and greatest) success but dreading his imminent 40th birthday and a midlife crisis blocking his creative impulses and entangling him in a web of romantic difficulties in early-1960s Venice. The original Broadway production opened in 1982 and ran for 729 performances, starring Raul Julia. The musical won five Tony Awards, including best musical, and has enjoyed a number of revivals.
REVIEWS"No mistake about it, The Arlington Players’ production of Nine is award bait.. “Unusual Way” is arguably the best thing Muary Yeston ever wrote. Pinto, as Claudia, sings the number delicately, conveying the complexity of her relationship with Guido..." Bob Ashby Showbizradio "Masterfully paced by director Lisa Anne Bailey...the performance of the talented cast is augmented by the skillful musical direction of Paul Nasto and his 15-piece orchestra....TAP pulls together an energetic and captivating performance that musical theater lovers should not miss."
