ALVERNO HEIGHTS ACADEMY’S PERFORMING ARTS DEPARTMENT PRESENTS THE DROWSY CHAPERONE The show will run April 26, 27, and 28 at the Sierra Madre Elementary School Auditorium Sierra Madre, CA (April 19, 2018) – Alverno Heights Academy is proud to present The Drowsy Chaperone on Thursday, April 26, Friday, April 27, and Saturday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. at Sierra Madre Elementary School Auditorium. The Drowsy Chaperone is a musical with book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison. It is a parody of the American musical comedies of the 1920s. The story concerns a middle-aged, asocial musical theatre fan; as she plays the record of her favorite musical, the (fictional) 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone. The show comes to life onstage as she wryly comments on the music, story, and actors. A montage of songs from The Drowsy Chaperone was performed by the Alverno cast at the Fullerton College High School Theatre Festival in March 2018, where Alverno’s production was ranked #18 out of 56 productions in the musical theatre competition. The main cast of The Drowsy Chaperone includes junior Julia Vallen as Woman in Chair, senior Leila Moreno as Mrs. Tottendale, junior Xander Penzato (St. Francis High School) as Underling, senior Riley Luna (St. Francis High School) as Robert Martin, senior Carson Christ (St. Francis High School) as George, freshman Chris Johnson (St. Francis High School) as Feldzig, sophomore McKenna Lindheimer as Kitty, sophomore Madison Ramirez as Gangster 1, senior Skylar Robinson as Gangster 2, junior Ethan Qua (St. Francis High School) as Adolpho, senior Sierra Curren as Janet Van De Graf, senior Sarah Lopez as the Drowsy Chaperone, freshman Afton Okwu as Trix, and freshman Anisa Lopez as the Superintendent. Members of the ensemble and dance casts include: freshmen Alexis Alvarado, Claire Cook, Vivian Gonzalez, and Allie Salinas; sophomores Vianni Barzallo, Josie Beltran, Maddie Petersen, and Denisse Recinos; juniors Klarissa Barriga, Elisia Bendy, Kathleen Cramer, Caroline Dragos, Maritza DiRito, Amanda Hill, Precious Perlas, and Beatriz Rivas; seniors Vanessa Prata, Matilda Prole, Anica Quizon, and Valerie Sanchez. Alverno’s production of The Drowsy Chaperone is being directed by Ms. Cynthia Cales P’12, Drama Director, with musical direction by Ms. Mary Ekler. Presale tickets to The Drowsy Chaperone may be purchased from the Alverno office for $15 or on BrownPaperTickets.com. Tickets will also be available at the door on the nights of the productions for $20.

About Alverno Heights Academy Alverno Heights Academy is an all-girls, independent, progressive Catholic, college preparatory school dedicated to its mission of empowering each young woman to be exactly the person she wants to be. Located on the property of the former Barlow Estate in Sierra Madre, California, Alverno Heights Academy was founded in 1960 by the Sisters of St. Francis who sought to create an environment in the San Gabriel Valley where young women could become informed and knowledgeable persons. Later renamed Alverno High School and sponsored by the Immaculate Heart Community, Alverno’s program—academic, spiritual, aesthetic, social, and physical—has been shaped by the staff, trustees, and students. As Alverno Heights Academy once again, the school remains committed to its mission by encouraging each of their young women to be who they imagine.
