Welcome to Tongue & Groove Theatre
A Romantic Musical Adventure To…
Seven Wonders of the World (Plus One)
Opening August 16, 2012!
The source material for this original comedy, directed and adapted by David Yeakle, is a 1940s-era suite of songs by the late record producer, Robert Scherman. The story follows a dreamer across time and space to various landmarks of both the ancient world and modern U.S., bouncing from then to now, from temple to skyscraper, classical drama to screwball romance. This is the 10th anniversary of Tongue and Groove’s original staging; the 2002 Austin Critic’s Table awarded the production “Most Unique Theatrical Experience”. This new production features lighting design by Jason Amato, costumes by Pam Friday, and settings by Wendy Mitchell.
August 16-26 @ 8PM
at The Rollins Studio Theatre in The Long Center for the Performing Arts
Austin, TX
Tickets available soon at The Long Center box office.
The Red Balloon Video
In May of 2010, Tongue and Groove Theatre partnered with Austin’s The Long Center for the Performing Arts to present an encore performance of The Red Balloon, a stage adaptation of the 1956 French film Le Ballon Rouge.
Under the direction David Yeakle, the critically-acclaimed production featured original animation by Leah Lovise, and music composed and conducted by Justin Sherburn.
The production won five 2008 B. Iden Payne Awards and two Austin Critics’ Table Awards.
