Xanadu

Schuÿler Edgar Holmes

A local cast of high school & college students presents the 80s roller disco musical Xanadu in four outdoor performances, Aug 5-8 at 6:30.

The Outdoor Stage

The show is directed, choreographed, and produced by Schuÿler Edgar Holmes, a sophomore theatre major at Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, Quebec, and supported by the B.E.S.T. (Bishop’s Exceptional Student Talent) Project Fund - a grant intended to assist students to determine their career paths and realize their ambitions. The cast includes a select group of veteran musical performers who have shared many stages in local productions over the years. <ul><li>Amelia Curry as Thalia</li><li>Avery Smith as Sonny Malone</li><li>Elyse Martin-Smith as Euterpe</li><li>Kelly Malone-Wolfsun as Melpomene</li><li>Molly Tatlock as Erato</li><li>Rose MacQueen as Clio/Kira</li><li>Rylee Masson as Danny Maguire</li><li>Schuÿler Edgar Holmes as Calliope</li><li>Simone Edgar Holmes as Terpsichore</li></ul>Inspired by, and poking fun at, the campy cult film starring Olivia Newton John and featuring music by Electric Light Orchestra, Xanadu follows Clio, a Greek muse sent to Venice Beach, California in 1980 to inspire Sonny Malone, a struggling chalk muralist. Should she succeed in this quest, Zeus will grant her Xanadu, “the gift so grand no one truly knows what it is.” With both help and hindrance from the other muses, and a clarinetist turned real estate mogul, Danny Maguire, Sonny and Clio work to rebuild their “apex of the arts:” a roller disco.
