“Swing” times 2

May

What are the odds?

Two local theater troupes mounting the same musical on the same weekend? Actually, it happens more than you might think.

The latest coincidental bit of stagemanship comes in a couple of weekends, when Byram Hills High School and Irvington’s Clocktower Players each present the Broadway musical “Swing!”

In Armonk, at Byram Hills High School, the show is May 15 at 7:30 p.m. and May 16 at 8 p.m. (Call 914-273-9200 ext. 460, or e-mail stagetkts@byramhills.org.)

In Irvington,  performances of “Swing!” are at the Irvington Town Hall Theater, 85 Main St., on May 16 at 8 p.m., May 17 at 2 and 8 p.m. and May 18 at 2 p.m. (Call 914-451.6602 or go to www.irvingtontheater.com.)

Wherever you see it — and you can catch it at both venues, if you’re in the mood — you’ll hear some great tunes, from “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” to “Stompin’ at the Savoy” and “In the Mood.”

About this blog
If it involves theater in any way -- from grade-schoolers learning Shakespeare to high school musicals to Broadway veterans getting into character -- this is the place to talk about it. We'll have audition notices, casting notices, mini-reviews and plenty of ideas to fill a theater junkie's to-do list.
