Riley reflects on his first experience with doing Buddy Holly Story four years ago “The experience was heightened by the fact that Nancy was able to bring in so many talented and versatile actor/musicians to back me up and actually make me look better than I actually am.  Brian Feehan’s sharp fast pace direction of the piece was also an amazing addition to the whole experience.”  He continued by saying “Coming back to reprise the production is going to be a joy ride. I already know the songs so I can leave that stress behind me and really dig in deep to the heart of the character and hopefully bring this musical legend back to life for a week in August.”

The Buddy Holly Story returns for one week only August 16-21^st at Interlakes Summer Theatre located at 1 Laker Lane in Meredith.  Show times are Tuesday-Saturday at 7:30, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday at 2:00 and Sunday at 7:00pm. This show will have you singing and dancing in the aisles. It’s not to be missed!

The role of Sally Bowles will be played by Dara Hartman. In developing her character, Hartman finds research important. She has been reading Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin Stories for the past month, gaining insight into her character, Sally Bowles. What stands out to Hartman about the character is, “Her air of not caring what people think, her attempts to shock and stimulate. It’s going to be a lot of fun!” She looks most forward to singing the finale song Cabaret, which she says, “… is at an integral point of the character’s emotional journey.”

Sue Boland makes her Interlakes Theatre debut as Fraulein Schneider, the owner of the boarding house where Clifford Bradshaw stays. “I’ve been lucky enough to see several fine actresses tackle the role in both the original and revised version, but I’ve always wanted to see more realism, more understanding of what was behind Schneider’s (song) So What!”. When it comes to developing her character Boland explained “I’ve been reading the “Berlin Stories” and have basically learned three different versions of the script.  Each version has given a slightly different emphasis to the story, so I’ve been lucky enough to have already been presented with several different sides to Fraulein Schneider.”  She continued by saying “I’ve played with numerous ways to get a particular thought across to the audience, thought about how I might look, what age I’ll be, etc  and then I try to erase everything and allow my director and the relationships I have with my fellow actors to shape, in this case, the Fraulein Schneider that you will see and get to know better.”

The show will also feature Matthew Rickard as the Emcee, the role made famous by  Joel Grey in the film and Broadway stage production.  Rickard is well known in Meredith, NH for playing Richie Valens in The Buddy Holly Story.

Cabaret will be performed at  Interlakes Summer Theatre (at the ILHS  at 1 Laker Lane in Meredith August 2^nd-14^th.  Come out and enjoy a love story like you’ve never seen before. Featuring such show stopping numbers as Wilkommen, Don’t Tell Mama, Cabaret, and Maybe This Time.

All three actors making their Interlakes Summer Theatre debut in Hairspray and could not be more excited.

Catherine Gallagher is a recent graduate of Point Park University in Pittsburgh and looks forward to playing one of her dream roles. “Tracy is a role played by a true triple threat. It is also a niche role that can only be played by a specific type of actor. To be considered among these few talented women is an honor.”She continued by saying “Playing Tracy is absolutely thrilling, because she’s such a take-charge person. She’s optimistic about everything and completely colorblind – she just wants the world to dance.”

Caitlin Thurnauer is excited to be part of such of such a talented cast that will be bringing such an energetic show to the Meredith community.   “I think the most exciting thing about being in Hairspray is getting to sing a phenomenal score and deliver such hysterical material.“  She looks forward to playing Penny because she is so full of life and energy and in love. “It doesn’t get much better than playing a character that is falling in love for the first time.  I also look forward to the transformation and growth she experiences throughout the show.”

Corey Campercholi looks forward to bringing  Hairspray to the  Meredith Community. “They have been so supportive of Guys and Dolls, and Man of La Mancha, and I have a feeling they are going to go CRAZY for Hairspray!” He went on to say “I am most excited to sing “You Can’t Stop the Beat” with the rest of the company!  It’s the finale of the show and it’s a nonstop five minutes of dancing and singing for the entire company.”.

Hairspray, sponsored by Middleton Building Supply,  will be performed at Interlakes Summer Theatre, 1 Laker Lane in Meredith, July 19-31. Show times are Tuesday- Saturday 7:30pm  and Sundays at 7:00pm with matinees on Wednesday and Thursday at 2:00pm.  You won’t want to miss this colorful high energy show with tons of fun dance numbers!
