Wallyhood and Lincoln High School parent Lynn wrote to us about a show opening March 25th—Nice Work If You Can Get It—that raises money for the arts in the Seattle Public Schools. The local community theater company, Woodland Park Players, is staging the musical at Shoreline Community College later this month. Since its inception, Woodland Park Players has granted $25,000-plus to our schools. The proceeds from these performances will benefit this worthy grant program. Lynn wrote:
“We’re inviting the Wallyhood community to support our schools by getting tix and bringing friends, neighbors and family along for this family-friendly Gershwin romp. The show has Wallingford and Lincoln High School connections aplenty. Our producer, Linda Joss, is a Lincoln High School parent, and other Wallingford neighbors/community members are in the cast and behind the scenes. Many Lincoln High School student musicians are playing in the show’s orchestra. The ticket link can be found here.“
Here are the show details:
Opening in a little over 3 weeks at Shoreline Community College Theater, from March 25 through April 2. NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT is a hilarious screwball comedy that first appeared on Broadway in 2012 with Matthew Broderick and Kelli O’Hara. It features beautiful music by the great Gershwin brothers, including “S’Wonderful”, “Someone to Watch Over Me”, “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off”, and the title song “Nice Work, If You Can Get It”.
