SJCMT presents 'State Fair'
The San Jose Children's Musical Theater presents its Mainstage production of Rodgers' and Hammerstein's State Fair, from May 12 through 21, at the Montgomery Theater in downtown San Jose.
A musical slice of Americana, State Fair takes its story line from a homespun novel written by Phil Strong. First filmed in 1933 with a cast headed by Will Rogers, it was remade in 1945 as a movie musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Fifty years later, the stage adaptation premiered on Broadway, showing the experiences of a simple Iowa family with the annual fair as the high point of their lives.
The cast, which consists of 80 performers between the ages of 12 and 20, is directed by SJCMT alumna Heather Stokes. For show times and ticket prices, call 408.288.5437, or visit www.sjcmt.com on the Internet.
