New York State allowed live public theater events to reopen this month for audiences to attend with safety measures in place. OFC Creations Theatre Center will be presenting The Fantasticks from April 23 through 25.
The Fantasticks is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. The narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart, and finally find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo’s words that, “without a hurt, the heart is hollow.”
The show is directed by Judith A. Rantaletta and features a cast of professional adult actors, including David Doumeng, Jessie Keim, Kyle Critelli, Peter Elliott, Don Sheffrin, David Runzo, Josiah Lloyd, and Alex Antonetti.
All performances will be live in person and limited to 100 attendees with social distancing between parties. The center is HEPA filtered and will receive thorough cleaning and disinfecting before and after event. Hand sanitizer stations are positioned throughout center. Attendees will have at least four seats between them and another party, and when possible, will receive their own row in the center. If reserved seating is required, assigned seats will be given to audiences upon arrival. Masks are currently required throughout the center except while eating or drinking. Food and bar service will be brought to attendees’ seats to limit congestion at the bar.
Live in person performances of The Fantasticks will be Friday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, April 25, at 2 p.m. at the OFC Creations Theatre Center, 3450 Winton Place, Brighton.
