Image The Kitchen Theatre Company's Family Fare series continues in March with an encore of Rachel Lamperts fun-filled I Have A Song To Sing O! If you missed it the first time around, I Have A Song To Sing O! is an interactive musical and sing-a-long for the entire family with book by Rachel Lampert and music and lyrics by Gilbert & Sullivan. I Have A Song To Sing O! will run for just two weekends March 6th & 7th and March 13th & 14th with performances on Saturdays at 1:00 and 3:00pm and Sundays at 1:00 pm.

Meet the Corcoran family: Cameron (Brett Bossard), Cadence (Nefertiti Bridges), Cameron's mother Corinna (Percy Browning) charming children Carrington, Calypso, Cadwyn, Calliope, and the youngest, Barb (Nathan Hilgartner, Alex LoPinto, Kevin Hilgartner, Chunmei McKernan and Erin Hilgartner). It's perfectly normal for them to get up every morning, have breakfast, get ready for their day and sing Gilbert and Sullivan songs every step of the way!

This would be perfect if only the Corcoran's landlords, Mr. and Mrs. Snivel (Stephen Nunley and Lesley Greene), who live downstairs were not total music haters! How can the music continue? Well, its up to some clever singing from actors and audience.

Don't worry you won't be dragged onto the stage, but everyone is invited to sing along. G&S fans start vocalizing and others can follow the lyrics projected on the back wall.

Playwright/lyricist/director Rachel Lampert, who also serves as KTC's Artistic Director, has authored many original Family Fare productions including The Mozart Mystery, Rebecca Returns, Winter Tales, The Odyssey Part I & II (among others) and a giant puppet version of A Christmas Carol. Her love of Gilbert & Sullivan was showcased on the Kitchen Theatre's Main Stage with the recent encore production of Precious Nonsense.
 
Lampert says, "I wrote 'I Have A Song To Sing O!' after the first production of Precious Nonsense because I saw audiences having to hold themselves back from singing along. So, I thought we needed a show where the audience is encouraged to join in and "sing out Louise!"

Thomas J. Peters (Gutenberg The Musical, Park Play) serves as musical director and will be the live accompanist for the performances.

Family Fare is sponsored by Tompkins Trust Company, The Cat's Pajamas and Purity Ice Cream.
