I not only play comic relief but helped to revise the book and lyrics for this special adaptation of Mozart’s most enchanting opera. ||
 * Mozart’s The Magic Flute is a fairy tale of love and redemption. Prince Tamino and his companion, the merry birdcatcher Papageno, must endure terrible trials to become worthy of their respective sweethearts: Princess Pamina and Papagena. Their quest occurs amid a cosmic battle between Sarastro, the High Priest of the Sun, and Pamina’s mother, the vengeful Queen of the Night. As you adventure with our heroes, you will encounter piping spirits, dancing slaves, secret rites of fire and water, and a giant man-eating fish.

The Magic Flute will be shown 7:30 PM Thursday, July 29; Friday, July 30; Saturday, July 31; and Sunday, August 1. Weather permitting, all performances will take place outdoors. In case of rain, a performance will move into the barn studio. Tickets will be sold at the door: $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $10 for students. Volunteers who work the box office or usher may attend for free. For more information, please call 257-2043.

The CRS Barn Studio is located on the lake side of North Triphammer Road, 1.5 miles north of Route 13 and the malls. ||
