About the Show

Director: Paul Lindley II
Choreographer: Lisa Sendler
Stage Manager: Sadie Carr
Location: Columbia Children’s Theatre at Richland Mall(directions)

Adapted in collaboration with iTheatrics, Kander & Ebb's legendary and award-winning musical about fame, fortune and “all that jazz” is specifically designed to be content-appropriate for middle and high school performers and has been adapted to remove overtly sexual references and adult language. “We plan to return to the original 1975 concept of the play,” says show director and CCT Director of Education Paul Lindley, “which highlighted the world of vaudeville, used sets and costumes!”
