Crown City Theatre Company is proud to arrive in NoHo with their first production, “I’m Just Wild About Harry.” A World Premiere Old-Fashioned Musical Comedy for the whole family featuring songs from the early 1900's. The delightful production is set to open May 17th, in their new home at Crown City Theater.

About The Show
Crown City Theatre Company turns Kimball Hall at St. Matthew’s LGBT Church into a 60 plus seat, thrust stage theater in the Noho arts district.

The show is based on Brandon Thomas’s 19th century farce “Charley’s Aunt.” It was hilarious as a play, and even more fun as a musical. Some of you may remember songs like "Daisy Bell" (A Bicycle Built For Two) or "Aba Daba Honeymoon" but this show is packed with old favorites. You won't be disappointed.

When Harry's Aunt decides to show up unexpectedly, the boys (Jack and Harry) invite their sweethearts over to meet the Aunt, but really to propose, since the girls’ Uncle/guardian is out of town. But when the Aunt wires that she will not be coming the boys insist their music teacher (a man) dress up and pretend to be the Aunt. Hilarity ensues as the music teacher tries to avoid being discovered and of course, when the real Aunt arrives.

The Talent
Cast Includes:
Tara Brown, Blake Edward, Sarah French, Vsev Krawczeniuk, James Loren, Joanne McGee, Tracy Mulholland, Chris Shepardson, and Casey Zeman as Babbs!
