TheatreUSF presents Out of the Box: An Evening of Musical Theatre Cabaret.

Directed by Georgia Mallory Guy
Nov. 21 & 22 at 8 p.m.
Theatre 2, USF Tampa Campus

A crowd of young men and women decked in red and black alternative punk styled clothing are crowded around one another, one fist punched in the air as they look at the audience with a strong and defiant focus.

Three actors dressed as characters from the Harry Potter series stand together and sing. On the far left, the actress holds up a wand and has her arm against the shoulder of the central actor, who leans against her. The right actor has his arms crossed in an ‘X’, wand in one hand.

Another crowd of young men and women, dressed in alternative punk dark and denim clothing, sing toward the audience and have their right fists raised, arms at a 90-degree angle.

The camera is angled from above, and its placed on a young man and the back of a woman. Each of them holds a puppet dressed in a similar fashion to their outfits: the woman decked in a floral dress and a black cardigan, the man in a plaid long sleeve shirt and khaki pants.

A group of actors dressed as characters from the Harry Potter series stand huddled around one actor who stands in the foreground. He has his wand in his right hand and looks mischievously at the audience. The actress behind him to the right dons a curly headed wig and has her arms crossed, looking at the central actor. Next to her in the center background is an actor with glasses and curly hair who looks confused, along with the actor on his left, a wand in his left hand.

A group of young women clad in silken lace dresses and dark stockings sing toward the crowd, elbows pointed outward and hands either clasped together or placed over one another stretched out.

Two women in a beige vintage dress and a darker green and golden embroidered dress sing toward an audience. The girl on the left is holding the microphone in the stand, the other is holding the microphone off the stand.

A young man in a tuxedo looked hurried, reading off of a script. A young woman in a seashell crown and blue flowy dress and cuffed glittery wings holds a blue binder and script in her left hand, her right pressed outward in a stopping motion at the young man standing beside her.

A tall young man with a beard and glasses in a metallic toned coppery suit looks toward a woman standing in front of him. She’s in black heels and a bright and rosy pink dress and is smiling at the young man in front of her.

Join us for an enchanting evening of musical theatre highlights and a romping good time! Hitting the highlights from classic musicals such as West Side Story and Cabaret as well as favorites from more recent hits such as Legally Blonde, American Idiot and A Very Potter Musical – this evening of singing is fun for everyone!
