A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC opens at Golden West College

The Golden West College Theater Arts department production of Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music opens this Friday April 26 and runs through May 5 in the Golden West College Mainstage Theater. 

Tickets are on sale now through the GWC Theater Arts department website at www.gwctheater.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the box office before the performances. 

Mary Frances Conover stars as famed actress Desiree Armfeldt, with Mark Waters as Fredrik, Megan Cherry as Madame Armfeldt, Amanda Macdonald as Anne, Joey Nestra-West as Henrik, and Paulina Contois as Fredrika. Liam Cavanaugh as Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm and Novelee Smedley as Countess Charlotte Malcolm round out the stellar cast. Martie Ramm is the director and Rick Heckman serves as musical director. 

Inspired by the 1955 Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night, Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt, and the men who love her. Passions are rekindled, jealousy flourishes and suspicion is everywhere. 

When all agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country, infinite possibilities of bittersweet humor, new romances and second chances bring endless surprises. 

Winner of six Tony awards including Best Musical, and featuring a beautiful, lush musical score highlighting Sondheim’s haunting Send in the Clowns, A Little Night Music is a story of love, nostalgia, regret, and desire — all taking place on a warm summer’s night.
