Kingsbridge presents Saving Harmony – The Musical

Warren Robinson, Director of Saving Harmony at rehearsals on May 24.

Another musical will grace the stage at Kingsbridge Centre featuring many local actors and singers, debuting on June 6 at 8 p.m.

Saving Harmony is set in an imaginary town in 1954, celebrating the songs of the late 1940s and early 1950s, while telling a comic tale of the battle to save a beloved hotel from unscrupulous developers.

Mixing corrupt officials, washed up chorus girls, doo wop male quartets with beautiful and humorous songs, Saving Harmony is a treat not to be missed.

This musical is filled with songs from the period, eccentric characters, romance and period costumes. Other themes include a missing inheritance, minor thieves and irresponsible adults whose attempts to make things better tend to backfire.

Saving Harmony may have many familiar faces and voices on stage, but it is the first Kingsbridge play that does not lean on the history of the area and is entirely fictional.

“The play is a must see for several reasons,” admitted Warren L. Robinson, director and co-writer of Saving Harmony.

“There is high calibre singing and catchy harmonies amongst a cast of almost 40. There is a blend of seasoned and dynamic actors and singers, with an original script filled with humour and offbeat characters. It is community theatre at its best.”

Tickets are available at the door only. Doors open one hour prior to show time.

Adults cost $20, students $10 and children under 12 cost $5. Refreshments available and Kingsbridge Centre is wheelchair accessible building.

Directed by Warren L. Robinson and co-written by Robinson and Mary Murdoch, Saving Harmony - The Musical features music by Eleanor Robinson.

Saving Harmony runs on June 6, June 7, June 13 and June 14 at 8 p.m. and on June 8 and June 15 at 2 p.m.
