Description

The Central Bucks High School West Harlequin Club is excited to welcome audiences back into its auditorium this November for the holiday classic Irving Berlin's White Christmas. The musical is based on the 1954 Paramount Pictures film by the same name and features the music of Irving Berlin including many standards like Blue Skies, I Love a Piano and of course, the perennial title song White Christmas. White Christmas, the musical and the movie, are known for their strong dance production numbers as well as beautiful music. Harlequin Club Director/Choreographer Jessica Bostock knew she wanted to bring that same high level of dance to the West production and has the talent to do it this year. Playing Phil Davis is Jackson Manning, a sophomore and award-winning ballroom dancer. Opposite him is Junior Anna Shea Safran playing Judy Haynes. Safran has performed at the Walnut Street Theatre and Bucks County Playhouse and has extensive dance training. Ellie Kuhnle (Betty Haynes) and Olivia Davis-Eagan (Martha Watson) have performed as part of the prestigious Bucks County Playhouse Youth Company. Other leads include Juniors Riley Malone as Bob Wallace, Garrett Falkenstein as General Waverly and Chelsea Mascioli as Susan Waverly. In addition to strong dancers in leads, Bostock also has a strong ensemble and is even able to incorporate tap numbers into the show. Bostock explained, "Often when a high school includes tap numbers in a show, they actually have to teach the cast how to tap. This year I started with 12 experienced tappers so I have been able to give them challenging choreography that I think the audience will really enjoy!" White Christmas is playing at Central Bucks West High School, 375 West Court Street, Doylestown, PA 18901 and runs Thursday November 18th through Saturday November 20th. Curtain time is 7:00pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday and there is also a 2:00 matinee on Saturday. The ticket link can be found at www.cbsd.org/harlequinclub. Adults $15. Children/Seniors $10.
