Singin In The Rain Jr.
Singin In The Rain Jr. Start Date: Thursday 5/16/2019 — End Date: Friday 5/17/2019 Admission:$5 Singin’ In The Rain JR. has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item, but behind the scenes things aren’t always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina’s squeaky voice might be the end of her career in “talking pictures” without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her. Three extraordinary roles for young dancers and a tour de force comedic turn make Singin’ In The Rain JR. a perfect choice for any group with an abundance of talent ready to shine. Tickets may be purchased with Bay Area Children’s Theatre at 510-296-4433.
