LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS announces a very special event: the world premiere staged reading of a new musical MISS FOXHOLE 1975 — book by the Tony Award-winning writer of Memphis, Joe DiPietro, music and lyrics by Ryan O’Connell & Val Vigoda, and directed by Kari Hayter. MISS FOXHOLE 1975 will perform on Wednesday, May 10 at 7:30 pm at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, 14900 La Mirada Blvd in La Mirada.
This initial presentation of a new musical comes close on the heels of La Mirada Theatre’s recent hit world premiere full production of DID YOU SEE WHAT WALTER PAISLEY DID TODAY? “We’re very excited to be part of the birth of Joe, Val, and Ryan’s engaging and original piece,” said BT McNicholl, La Mirada Theatre’s Producing Artistic Director, “particularly with director Kari Hayter and a cast of gifted performing artists bringing it to life for the first time.”
In the summer of 1975, 20-year-old Jill Morgenthaler excitedly joins the first class of women admitted to cadet training at Fort Bragg, NC. But Jill and her fellow females are quickly confronted by one unanticipated challenge after another, including the biggest indignity of all: an order to participate in a beauty pageant for the pleasure of the camp’s 50,000 male cadets. MISS FOXHOLE 1975 is a new musical based on the astounding, true experience of a group of trailblazing young women, led by military bad-ass Jill Morgenthaler.
The Cast of MISS FOXHOLE 1975 will feature Bella Hicks as “Jill,” Jenna Byrd as “Erica,” Jenna Lea Rosen as “Kimmy,” Wyn Moreno as “Wendell,” Andy Umberger as “Captain Mitchell,” Trent Mills as “Cadet Bukowski,” Adrian Villegas as “Babyface,” James Everts as “Cadet,” James Tolbert as “Cadet,” Zach Santolaya as “Cadet,” and James McHale will be reading the stage directions. John W. Calder III is the Production Stage Manager.
MISS FOXHOLE 1975 will perform Wednesday, May 10 at 7:30 pm at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, 14900 La Mirada Blvd in La Mirada, near the intersection of Rosecrans Avenue, where the 91 and 5 freeways meet. Parking is free.
