The Three Penny Opera

by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill

The University of Redlands Theatre Arts Department and School of Music in partnership with the Riverside School For the Arts and The Performance Loft proudly present the infamous and groundbreaking 1928 musical:

April 7 - 9, 2005

Director Chris Beach
Choreographer Jo Dierdorff
Vocal Director Marco Schindelman
Musical Director Dan Murphy
Set Designer Dan Cork
Costume Designer Nephelie Andonyadis

 

The Three Penny Opera takes audience members to a world of mischief: prostitutes, serial killers and beggars. These shady characters, mixed with the innocent Polly Peachum, her parents and a sorted array of policemen and townsfolk, make-up Brecht and Weill's world of deceit, ill-repute and astonishment.

Location:
The Performance Loft, located in the historic Mitten Building in downtown Redlands at 345-A N. 5th Street.
