The Temecula Valley Players opened their season Thursday, August 20, with a rousing performance of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Talented young director, Jeremy Scott Lapp, has created a wonderful rendition of a Broadway play drawn from the acclaimed 1954 movie musical. The choreography by Gary Iversen is at once aggressive and athletic while equally playful and exuberant. Taylor Peckham, the show’s immensely gifted conductor ranks as the youngest musical director and vocal coach in memory. Leading a live orchestra of excellent musicians, Taylor is a man-child of eighteen who wields his masterful baton from the orchestra pit with more sensitivity and control than musicians far older and grayer.

Tickets:
Friday and Saturday evenings:
$28 Orchestra
$23 Parterre/Balcony

Thursday nights and Saturday/Sunday matinees:
$25 Orchestra
$20 Parterre/Balcony

Discounts available for Seniors/Student and Military on Thursday evening performances. (Read on …)
