Swingtime Canteen by Linda Thorsen Bond, William Repicci, and Charles Busch
It's London, 1944. Join MGM star Marian Ames and her all-girl band from the Hollywood Canteen for the rip-roaringest canteen show of them all.
Swingtime Canteen, the "Star Spangled Musical Hit", enjoyed over 300 performances Off Broadway before beginning a London production. It has since become a staple of musical theatres across the country. The show takes its inspiration from the films and personalities that helped to define the national consciousness know as "the war effort".
In the new millennium, Swingtime Canteen fondly looks back to a time universally heralded as America's finest hour. Featuring the real hits of 1940's swing, Swingtime Canteen brings a USO show right to the stage of the WYO Theater.
The local cast and band of Sheridan's most talented performers are led by Directors Marva Craft and Tami Davis. Special appearances by Kelly Miller Smart, Mary Jo Johnson, and Julio and Suzanne Quintana.
An exuberant excursion back to the days of World War II! War may be hell, but at "Swingtime Canteen" it' still a lot of fun.-- The New York Times
