Theatre Westminster will present the musical-comedy Crazy for You, Wednesday-Saturday, Nov. 13-16, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 17, at 2:30 p.m. in Beeghly Theater.

This "girl meets boy" tale takes place in the Wild West, and is filled with Gershwin music and Ken Ludwig's hilarious dialogue. The curtain opens in at a New York theater, where the last performance of the Zangler Follies has just finished, but quickly moves to a run down theater in Deadrock, Nev. that is destined to close for lack of funds. It is in this town that a love triangle blooms, and cast of characters, which include rowdy cowboys, Follies dancers, and two British travelers, converge for this musical comedy production.

Eileen Hendrickson, visiting instructor of theater at Westminster College, directs this production. Dr. Robin Lind and Dr. Anne Bentz , both assistant professors of music at Westminster, direct the vocals in the play. Gina Sharbaugh, assistant director of admissions and dance instructor at Westminster College, directs the dance portion of the play, while R. Tad Greig, director of bands at Westminster College, directs the pit orchestra. John Scott, technical director of Beeghly Theater, is also lighting designer.

For tickets to the play, call the Beeghly Box Office at (724) 946-7241 Wednesday-Friday, Nov. 6-8, from 2-4 p.m.
