Millikin School of Theatre & Dance brings "Chelsea Sunrise" to the stage March 22-24

 

[March 20, 2019]    Millikin University's School of Theatre and Dance will present the production of "Chelsea Sunrise" March 22-24 at Albert Taylor Theatre in Shilling Hall on Millikin's campus. The music of "Chelsea Sunrise" was written by Mike Ford and Murray Foster, and book by Murray Foster.

Dusty is a Toronto kid who loves the music of the 1960s British Invasion – so much so that he models himself and his band after it. But his dreams of stardom are tested by the real world as he is forced to confront his ideas of love, loyalty and authenticity in this exciting new musical.

Performances of "Chelsea Sunrise" on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23 will begin at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, March 24 at 2 p.m.

Single ticket prices for "Chelsea Sunrise" are $12 - $14, and children's tickets are $10. Seniors 65 and older, groups of 10 or more, and other discounts are available by phone or in person.
