Suburbia's got talent: Fox Valley Repertory
Fox Valley Repertory continues its second season reliving the summer of 1960 set to Neil Sedaka's hits with the musical "Breaking Up is Hard to Do."
Directed by Fox Valley Rep veteran and multi-JEFF Award-winning choreographer and director Kevin Bellie, performances will take place through May 20 at the Pheasant Run main stage in St. Charles.
The video features the hit song "Love Will Keep Us Together," featuring Christina Myers, Creg Sclavi, Heather Townsend, Stephanie Herman and Fred Zimmerman.
"'Breaking Up is Hard to Do' offers fun nostalgia to our patrons, as we call can remember a time when we were young and in love," says artistic director John Gawlik. "Combine 'Dirty Dancing' with 'Where the Boys Are,' and you get a musical full of teenage infatuations, excitement, innocence, first kisses, first fights - which can all be used to describe this fun production."
Through Fox Valley Repertory's "FVR Give$ Back" program, we have partnered with the Fox Valley Troop Support, Inc. of St. Charles to collect donations during "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" performances to help support U.S. military service members deployed overseas by sending care packages, letters and by providing support for families of deployed troops. Patrons will have the opportunity to contribute to the cause after each performance.
Pheasant Run Resort is at 4051 E. Main St., St. Charles. For tickets, call the Pheasant Run Box Office at (630) 584-6342, or visit ticketmaster.com. For details, visit foxvalleyrep.org.
