The Little Theatre of Tuscarawas County’s next show combines Jane Austen with popular music from throughout the past 60 years.
“Emma! A Pop Musical” takes the stage for nine performances over three weekends, starting Friday.
Director Jared Sparks-Lee says it’s based on the 19-century novel with obvious differences. Lee says the cast includes 24 stage performers and a talented group of pit singers to sweeten the sound.
Alison Foutz plays the title character Emma.
“It’s a very rare experience to do a show like this with such popular music. it is a lot of work, but it is worth, and we have so much fun.”
Performances are Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for three weekends, starting Friday. Tickets are available online at thelittletheatreonline.org or call the box office at 330-308-6400.
