Nobody Puts Baby in the Closet!
Never After is the story of Princess Lesley Anne, destined by a conniving fairy to be a lesbian. Ill-suited to her role as a fairytale princess, Les leaves the kingdom of Generica to search for adventure. Along the way, she makes friends in unlikely places, fights dragons, finds her true love, and discovers her own indomitable strength. Never After was first performed to enthusiastic crowds at the Somerville Theatre in September.
Now it's your turn to see a video of this original musical comedy, performed in concert style by the talented folks at Theatre@First [8], Somerville's largest community theatre group. Afterwards stick around for a panel discussion with Colleen Campbell, the writer/composer of Never After, and Elizabeth Hunter, director of this production.
Sunday at 6pm in Presidents Ballroom A
