In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Umpqua Actors Community Theatre has announced its summer musical.

Anastacia will be presented live at Jacoby Auditorium, July 24th through August 3rd.

The production is based on the beloved animated movie from 20th Century Fox. Anastacia is described as both a heartwarming and heart-wrenching dive into one of history’s biggest unanswered questions: what happened to the Grand Duchess Anastacia Romanov? The musical transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past.

Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya finds herself stranded in what was once the Russian capital, St. Petersburg. The story goes on from there as Anastasia explores one determined girl’s journey to find home, love and family as she discovers who she was and embraces who she is meant to be.
