Center Stage Theatre To Host Fundraiser: “Beatlemania, the Tribute”

Directors Gary and Francesca Scarpa have announced that Center Stage Theatre will host “Beatlemania, the Tribute” at the auditorium as a fundraiser for the school's theatre on Friday, June 10 at 8 p.m.

“Beatlemania, the Tribute” recaptures the excitement, the mood and the frantic intensity of the 1960's against a backdrop of stunning images which evoke memories of one the most revolutionary decades of modern times.

“This is a first-rate, professional Beatles replica act,” said Gary Scarpa. “The songs of the Beatles are classics that many of us grew up with and which have stood the test of time for several generations. We feel that this fundraiser will help Center Stage successfully move into our new season which begins in July with Annie Get Your Gun.”

Scarpa, along with his wife Francesca, serves as artistic director of the non-profit theatre in Shelton. Now in its seventh season, Center Stage was opened by the Scarpas in 2005. Each year, they produce a season of six plays and musicals.

Tickets for “Beatlemania, the Tribute” are $20, and can be purchased online at www.centerstageshelton.com or by calling 203-225-6079.
