Classics Company

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved South Pacific comes to life at the Old Firehall Arts Centre in a special Concert Presentation. This story of cultures intersecting in wartime examines love and prejudice and brought challenging conversations to the American theatre.  The musical won the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

With a talented group of musicians on stage, our Classics cast will perform songs such as Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair, Bali Ha’i, and You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught.  You’re sure to have Some Enchanted Evening!  An event for the ears, mind and heart. 

Note: A Concert Presentation features all songs and most of the dialogue. The cast may use scripts, there are few props, limited staging and basic costuming. Members of the Classics Company are 55+ years of age.

Evening at 7:30 pm: February 8 & 9
Matinee at 2:00 pm: February 8 & 9
