Please come to the Springville Library downstairs theater and be prepared for cold reading from the script.

A group of about twenty community members meet almost every weekend night from 7 to 10 pm in the basement of the Springville Library. They aren’t changing public policy or increasing literacy. Nope, they’re just singing and dancing. The Drowsy Chaperone will be the last musical to play in the library basement before its planned demolition, and rehearsals are in full swing.

Jay Knight, the director for the show, also directed the first musical to play in the Springville Playhouse, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, in the early 1980s. “The Board of Directors back then were hesitant to do a musical, but we did it and it was such a fun show that the Playhouse has done it twice since the original production,” says Knight. As the Playhouse prepares for their last musical in this venue, they also keep busy raising funds for the historic Rivoli theater restoration.

All participants agree their evenings in rehearsal are well spent. “This is such a fun show to be a part of,” says Knight. “The music is incredible, and there is so much talent in this cast that every rehearsal is fun.” Aimee Robison, who plays the ditzy budding actress Kitty and also choreographs the show, agrees, “I knew it would be a blast. I have a special place in my heart for the Springville Playhouse, so I feel honored to be a part of the last show in the library.”

The fun music, costumes, set, and cast make the time commitment well worth it for each participant. Robison is a teacher and is working on a master’s degree. She only has a short time to see her husband before homework and rehearsals. Likewise, Karl Young who plays Ziegfield-esque producer Feldzig is “drowsy at The Drowsy Chaperone rehearsals” because he works at 6 am every morning. Yet, he finds the rehearsals well worth it. “You see, that place was practically the place where my kids were raised. We could spend the whole rehearsal time reminiscing and we see hints of characters we have played in the past in some of the scenes we rehearse now. Some of our long supporting patrons may share in that special treat with this very funny show.” Audiences will not want to miss this celebration of theater in Art City.

The Drowsy Chaperone will premiere June 3 and run through June 25. Tickets will be available online and at the door.
