Broadway Actor joins local troupe for “The Fantasticks”  [Posted 6/29/09]
Veteran Broadway actor Mark Branche has accepted the role of El Gallo in “The Fantasticks” opening August 8 and running through August 16 at Town Hall Arts Center in downtown Littleton.

America’s longest running musical, “The Fantasticks” tells the story of two young would-be lovers, Matt (Adam Luhrs) and Luisa (Ashlie Harris) and their conniving fathers’ attempts to bring them together with the help of a traveling carnival pitch man (Branche) and his rag-tag entourage. Memorable songs include “Try to Remember,” “They Were You,” “Round and Round,” and “Plant a Radish.”

Mark Branche, whose Broadway musical credits include A Chorus Line, Cats, and Les Miserables, plays brilliantly off the well-intentioned but hilarious antics of the two fathers (John McDonald, Russ Smith).

Presented in association with Littleton’s 81st annual Western Welcome Week, the show is produced by Littleton’s mainstay community theater groups, Main Street Players and Ovation Players. Directed by Town Hall children’s theater director, Pam Clifton, Music Director is Midge Moyer. A special Industry Night performance on Monday, August 10, offers reduced-price tickets to members of the theater trade and the public.
