Performers in Special Musical Revue at Saratoga City Music Hall Nov. 12 and 13

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Retired teacher Laurie Larson is directing a fundraising event celebrating the return of live theater entitled All Together Now: A Global Event Celebrating Local Theater. 

It will be performed by a 12-member Home Made Theater cast at Saratoga City Music Hall, 474 Broadway, on Friday, Nov. 12 and Saturday, Nov. 13.

Under the auspices of the award-winning company’s Youth Musical Theater Conservatory, a cast of two boys and 10 girls, ages 12-19-years-old, will perform 15 of the Great White Way’s most beloved musical songs and production numbers. Larson and her long-time stage manager, Susan Turner, of Saratoga Arts, have run the conservatory for two decades.

Music Theater International (MTI), the theatrical licensing agency headquartered in New York City, is waiving royalty and licensing rights to many of the iconic musical shows it represents in order for the show to be produced; MTI’s magnanimous gesture permits local arts and entertainment groups such as Home Made Theater to thereby stage shows for free in order to recoup some of the monies they lost last year.

Larson, who was a theater and music teacher at Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School prior to teaching at Ballston Spa High School, retired last June after 27 years. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in vocal performance and a minor in theater and dance from Ithaca College, and is also certified in Interdisciplinary Arts for Children, and holds a Master’s in Theatre from SUNY-Albany.

Single tickets, plus information and subscriptions to Home Made Theater’s entire 2021-22 season are available on the company’s website, www.HomeMadeTheater.org, or by calling 518-587-4427 during regular business hours.
