Sweet Charity

Music by Cy Coleman, Lyrics by Dorothy Fields 

Book by Neil Simon

Sweet Charity is a tender, poignant, and humorous look at the adventures of Charity Hope Valentine. Always trying to look on the bright side of life, Charity sings, dances, and laughs through her pain and heartbreak. Audiences will love this hopeless romantic’s trials and tribulations in the big city. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival (1986).

Faculty Spotlight: Matt Greenberg 

"In my classes I believe that multiple perspectives are valued in creating the world of play. No two people are a like, hence, there isn't one right answer to something. I train artists and not simply performers. A performer is limited to performing, however, an artist CAN perform, but they can also think creatively, devise their own work, work in multi-disciplinary ways, and have a deep value of the process as well as the product."
