Current Season
BARCLAY Performing Arts brings you Stephen Sonheim’s A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. Winner of four Tony Awards, and best known for famed song “Send in the Clowns,” Sondheim brings you a musical work that has forever entranced the world of theatre. Performed with a live, 4 piece string set supporting professionally trained, mature vocals, this production of NIGHT MUSIC brings nuance and intimacy to an already elegant and sophisticated piece.
Set in 1900 Sweden, A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress, Desirée Armfeldt, and the men who love her. Both men – as well as their jealous wives – agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country at Desirée’s mother’s estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.
A Little Night Music is full of hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration, regret and desire. With only two performances, this production with LIVE MUSIC is sure to sell fast. Reserve your seats today!
Ragtime The Musical
Wednesday April 24th, 7:00 PM and Sunday April 28, 2:00 PM
The Advanced Students & Professionals of BARCLAY Performing Arts bring you the epic American musical, RAGTIME.
Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair… and what it means to live in America.
Ragtime is the winner of the 1998 Tony Awards for Best Score, Book, and Orchestrations. Called by TIME Magazine “A triumph for the stage,” this acclaimed musical is filled with pageantry, emotion, and hope. A truly unique and powerful portrait of America, Ragtime is sure to inspire actors and audiences alike!
Join us as we bring this important, beautiful, and relevant musical to Boca.
*The show has been cast with a mix of advanced musical theatre students of all ages alongside professional adult performers who will be playing all principal characters. The show is cast age appropriately.
