After a highly successful Fall semester featuring two great shows, Much Ado About Nothing & Deathrap, The Canisius College Little Theatre is proud (and very excited!) to announce our next production: Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Sweeney will be directed by Seniors Joshua Robinson & Tyler Ianuzi, both 4-year members of LT and currently sitting E-Board members; will feature musical direction by William Freeman; and will be produced by Hannah Alt & Christopher Hyzy, the club’s President & Vice President.

The role of Sweeney Todd will be played by Freshman Albert Falcone, previously seen as Claudio in our fall production of Much Ado About Nothing; Mrs. Lovett will be played by Sophomore Erin Mount, who appeared as Beatrice in Much Ado and Margaret Johnson in last year’s The Light In The Piazza; Sophomore Matt Giangrego, who was in both of our shows Fall semester, will play Anthony; Johanna will be played by Junior Miranda Lombardo, who was seen as Clara in The Light In The Piazza and Clea in 2010′s Black Comedy; Sophomore Rebecca Krakowiak, last seen in 2010′s Public Eye, will be playing Tobias Ragg; and Freshman Patrick Zicari, who played Benedick in Much Ado, will play Judge Turpin.

The show will run for one weekend only, March 1st-3rd 2012, in Canisius’ own Marie Maday Theatre, located on campus in Lyons Hall. To reserve tickets, call (716) 888-3795. Tickets will be high demand, so reserve your soon!

The Canisius College Little Theatre announces the start of another great season with Studio X!

Do you like to sing? Act? Dance? Maybe you’re looking for a great way to get involved on campus and start the year off right? Consider Studio X, not your typical open mic show! We have a wide variety of acts, certain to please any and all who attend. At our last show we had acts such as comedy skits, musical sing-alongs & solo acts, original singer-songwriters, and even some stand-up comedy!

Studio X will be located in the Palisano Pavilion, right in the heart of the Canisius College campus, at 8PM on Thursday, September 8th.

Contact the club at ltclub@canisius.edu for more information or to sign up!

Keep an eye on our website over the summer, we are going to be experimenting with some new technologies to further bring the LT experience online!

For example, we are going to be testing out the features of Microsoft Photosynth to hopefully bring some interactive panoramas online for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Studio X! Whether you performed or came to watch the show, we were all very pleased with the outcome, and we hope you were too!
