In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:
Umpqua Actors Community Theatre is presenting its summer musical, “Anastasia.” beginning on Thursday night in Jacoby Auditorium at Umpqua Community College.
Based on the animated movie from 20th Century Fox, “Anastasia” is described as both a heartwarming and heart-wrenching dive into one of history’s biggest unanswered questions – what happened to Grand Duchess Anatasia Romanov? This musical transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920’s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past.
“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.
The production hits the stage Thursday through Saturday nights at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. through August 3rd. Tickets are $22 for adults and $17 for children ages 10 and under.
