North Hollywood, CA (OPENPRESS) February 6, 2008 -- Music and college are about to collide and this time it is not involving Dave Matthews Band or OAR.
From Friday, February 15 to Sunday, February 24, actress/singer Kelly Meyersfield and musical comedian Evan Wecksell are combining forces to present "College The Musical: A Musical About College."
Set in present day academia, "College" follows Amy (Meyersfield), a naive freshman, ready to take on college life and all the freedoms that come with it. Enter freshman predator Julius (Wecksell) who uses his fraternity status to his advantage and so begins Amy's roller coaster ride through college.
"College" comes from the minds and music of Meyersfield and Wecksell, married in real life, who each write their own hilarious songs. Wecksell regularly tours colleges performing his original comedy songs so several of his compositions fit right in.
"We took her songs and my songs, wrote a few more songs for the show and Kelly created a whole storyline around them," says Wecksell.
Directing "College" is Actress/Singer/Dancer Lynsey Bartlison, best known for her role on Fox and the CW's "Grounded for Life."
"These two actors are fabulous," says Bartilson. "And they're going to give everyone a great time."
"College The Musical: A Musical About College" opens on Friday, February 15 at The Actor's Playpen in West Hollywood. It runs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Sunday, February 24.
Tickets are available at www.plays411.com/collegethemusical or by calling (323) 960-4412. Prices are $12 in advance, $15 at the door and $10 for students (promo code 202).
