Circle
Players’ production of FameThe Musical is a musical drama set in New York City's High School
of Performing Arts, (known as
"PA") between 1980 to 1984— the last four years that school was
open before it became Fiorello
H. LaGuardia
High School of Music &
Art and Performing Arts. Fame the Musical follows a group of
students and teachers and their relationships through four years of High
School. The musical is loosely based on the 1980 film Fame and
focuses on issues such as prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy, sexuality,
drug abuse, loss of life, and perseverance. The highs and lows are too much for
some students, but their determination to find greatness shines through.
Fame
the Musical was conceived and developed by David De Silva with a book
by Jose Fernandez, music by Steve Margoshes, and lyrics by Jacques Levy. The Nashville
premiere of Fame the Musical is
directed by Tim Larson, who is excited to bring this musical drama to local
community theatre and will keep true to the author’s intent of an energizing,
entertaining, and bittersweet story brought to the stage.
