La Cañada Theatre Opens Squeak

Squeak

The charming new musical, Squeak: A Musical in One Act, opens at La Cañada Theatre in Montrose May 7 and will run through May 16. It features music by Brian Leader, lyrics by Noelle Donfeld and book by Sachi Oyama.

Suzanna, a research mouse, is in love with her scientist, Yuri, who is in love with Phoebe, a doubting waitress. Brutus, is a house mouse who is hopelessly in love with Suzanna, and has a match-making sister, Cleopatra, who will do anything to help him. Can true love be found among the electrodes and pizza in this mini tale of interspecies love?

Starring in the cast are Arron Rothbart as Yuri, Aria Noelle Curzon as Suzanna and Deb Owen as Cleopatra of Mouse Matches, Inc. Also featured are Rachele Gueli as Phoebe and Michael McAdam as Brutus.

Owen has a passion for working with writers on new musicals. “It is a rare opportunity as a performer to be a part of the creative process as well as having a role created, at least in part, around my strengths. Cleopatra will always have a little ‘Deb’ in it, no matter who plays the role in the future.”


La Cañada Theatre is located at 2416 Montrose Avenue, Montrose, CA 91020. Tickets for Squeak are available online at www.lacanadatheatre.org/shows.html. For more information, please call 818-731-6740.
