Event: P.A.C.E. Presents "Falsettos"
May 1-3 and 8-10, Northampton, MA

P.A.C.E./Pioneer Arts Center of Easthampton will present the double-bill musical "Falsettos" on May 1-3 and May 8-10 at The Academy of Music in Northampton. "Falsettos" features music and lyrics by William Finn, and book by William Finn and James Lapine.

"Falsettos" is two one-act musicals from "The Marvin Trilogy" by William Finn with James Lapine. The first one-act, "March of The Falsettos", opened Off-Broadway in the 1980-81 season. The second, "Falsettoland" (where Lapine collaborated), opened Off-Broadway a decade later. They were combined into one evening at Hartford Stage; that revision moved to Broadway in 1992, where the musical won two Tony Awards. It ran on Broadway for over 480 performances and toured nationally.

The P.A.C.E. production of "Falsettos" is directed by David Fried Oppenheim. Musical Director is Marnen Laibow-Koser and musical staging is by Joseph Rich. Vocal coaching is by Dan Inglis.

P.A.C.E.'s production of "Falsettos" follows on the heels of their critically acclaimed and hip-hop restaging of "West Side Story" in 2008.

P.A.C.E. hopes to follow each performance with a "Talk-Back", where audience members can chat with the cast and the production team about the musical. It's my hope to incorporate an HIV/AIDS awareness component into the talk-backs, and we're approaching some HIV educators to provide that service. Talk-Backs will be free.
