The Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris -- With a bold flourish,
the anniversary season begins with the "Grand Imperial Cirque
de Paris" taking center stage in this classic American musical.
Director Bonnie J. Monte
will bring her unique vision to this 1961 musical adaptation
of Lili, the story of an innocent, homeless girl who
joins a troupe of jaded, not-so-imperial performers including
The Incomparable Rosie, Marco the Magnificent and Paul, a crippled
puppeteer. A joyride of music, romance and glittering theatricality,
Carnival's score includes the standard "Love Makes the
World Go 'Round." Original production directed & choreographed
by Gower Champion. Featuring Robert Cuccioli and Paul Mullins.
Carnival! has been made possible, in part, by a grant
from The Karma Foundation.
