“The Orphans’ Christmas Star” is an original holiday musical with a book and score by Rochester-based musical theatre director, teaching artist and private coach Cara D’Emanuele. This heart-warming family musical, set in 1930’s Chicago, tells the story of a young woman whose dream to become a Hollywood Star is transformed. Vivian instead, becomes the beloved teacher for an all-girls orphanage.
The score features jazz and Broadway-inspired music as well as traditional holiday songs. This year’s production will be choreographed by Rochester dancer, teaching artist and choreographer Trevor Hubble and presented at Spencerport High School December 2 through 11.
Regardless of experience, all girls from throughout the greater Rochester area are encouraged to audition to be a part of this exceptional musical theatre education and performance opportunity where girls create new friendships, build life-long holiday memories and experience the wonderful world of musical theatre.
