Verona High School’s Spotlight Players will present The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school’s auditorium.
The comedy, written by Dan Zolidis and directed by Fran Young, is a rollicking parody of some of the Grimm Brothers’ most famous fairytales. The evening will include a funny take on “Rapunzel” and “Rumpelstiltskin” as well as satiric depictions of “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Cinderella.” Some of the lesser known tales such as the “Frog Prince” and the “Devil’s Grandmother” will also be the subjects of the comedy.
The production features 30 student actors: Rayna Newkirk, Joe Anello, Anna Shea, Arianne Valderrama, Mia Corbett, Patrick Citrano, Star Kent-Finnegan, Carina Mitchell, Dan Messinio, Rachelle Smith, Nick Kast, Matt Masucci, Alana Murphy, Owen Yarmo-Gray, Colin Vega, Katie Fernandez, Giulia Licitra, Lauren Zanders, Grace Gault, Ava Vasalani, Matt Sarett, Rachael Weir, Anna Serra, Emma Kubacki, Carla Bello, Anthony Giuliano, Molly Ligon, Jessica Spinelli, David Karpinski, and Philip Beben.
