 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH “SWEET CHARITY”

 During the first three weekends in November, Monica Barzcak, a well known performer throughout Queens, will take the stage as Charity Hope Valentine, the ever optimistic dance-hall hostess in FSF Community Theatre Group’s presentation of Sweet Charity.  Set in New York City, this story follows a young woman's (mis)adventures of love, heartbreak, self discovery and life's trials and tribulations.

 Sweet Charity is known for its music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and book by Neil Simon.
This Queens production is under the direction of Mark Lord, musical direction by Paul L. Johnson
and choreography by Maryellen Pierce.  

The opening scene holds some surprising happenings and the rest of show does not fail to deliver. The big numbers come fast: the seductive Big Spender, when the dance-hall hostesses preen for prospective paying partners; If My Friends Could See Me Now, when Charity realizes she's actually in the Italian movie star, Vittorio Vidal’s (Jimmy O’Neill) apartment; the hippy Rhythm of Life led by Big Daddy played by Liam MacLarty and I'm a Brass Band, when Charity thinks she has finally found a long-term relationship with the perpetually nervous and inexperienced Oscar Lindquist (Nick Radu). Laura S. Packer and Jenna Kantor, playing Charity's girlfriends, join Charity as they dream of a better life - There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This.  

Performances are Saturday,November 6th, 13th, and 20^th at 8PM and  Sunday November 7th, 14th, and 21^st at 3PM.  All shows are held at the Free Synagogue of Flushing, 41-60 Kissena Boulevard in Downtown Flushing. On site parking is available. Tickets are $16, $14 for seniors over 60.
