Anastasia: The Musical at Gardner Theatre
August 1 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

From Tony winners Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, creators of such Broadway classics as Ragtime and Once On This Island, this stunning show transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a loveable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.
This year’s show is directed by Jonathan Walker-VanKuren, an instructor of voice and music theatre at Lebanon Valley College, as well as a private voice instructor at Popovsky Performing Arts. Jonathan holds an Artist Diploma from Texas Christian University, an M.M. from Michigan State University, and a B.F.A. from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Most recently, Jonathan directed Lebanon Valley College Musical Theatre’s production of 9 to 5. Of his experience thus far in bringing Anastasia: The Musical to life, Jonathan said “Working with this cast has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my directing career. Missing this show would be a huge mistake!”
