Penn State Centre Stage Presents Grand Hotel
Penn State Centre Stage will present Grand Hotel February 14-28 at the Pavilion Theatre on the University Park campus.
Come spend an evening at the Grand Hotel Berlin. It’s 1928, and the optimism between World Wars is in full swing. For some.
Based on the novel by Vicki Baum with book by Luther Davis and music and lyrics by George Forrest and Robert Wright, Grand Hotel is a seamless musical that captures the high life and optimism of Berlin in 1928, through a powerful and sweeping score. The world's most expensive hotel brings together a collection of rich characters, both wealthy and poor, where "one life ends while another begins", and "one heart breaks while another beats faster".
Grand Hotel is directed by Nathan Brewer, a third-year Penn State M.F.A. candidate in the Directing for Musical Theatre program. His previous directing credits include assistant director on Relatively Speaking (Broadway), Aladdin (5th Avenue Theatre), and music director/assistant director for the national tour of Seussical. Included in the cast of nearly thirty are equity actors Bob Barton, Spence Ford, and Audrey Cardwell, along with members of the renowned Penn State musical theatre program.
