Grossmont Theatre Arts

 

The award-winning Stagehouse Theatre at Grossmont College wraps up its 2021-2022 season with a production of “All in the Timing.” The production was written by David Ives and directed by Grossmont College theatre arts instructor and Broadway actor Geno Carr. Opening night is May 19 at 7:30 p.m.

 Winner of the John Gassner Memorial Playwriting Award, this critically acclaimed evening of comedy comprises six, one-act plays that combine wit, intellect, satire, and just plain fun. Carr recently joined the North American tour of “Come From Away,” reprising the role of Oz and others that he originated for the Tony Award-winning play on Broadway. Musical direction for the production is by Nancy Snow Carr, a soprano who has been singing, performing, and teaching professionally for the past two decades.

For many in the cast, this will be their last performance at the Stagehouse Theatre. A record 19 theatre arts students will graduate in June, with several planning to transfer to UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, and San Diego State University to pursue their studies.

 “Grossmont College is the cultural hub of San Diego’s East County and the Stagehouse Theatre is among the top theatre programs in the region,” said Carr. “Audiences will be entertained by this production, and we are very much looking forward to the 2022-2023 season next fall.”
