NINE Rehearsals begin at UP Stages

Dennis has begun rehearsals on the musical NINE by Arthur Kopit and Maurey Yeston, which he is directing. The production features teaching artist Ricardo Vila-Roger and special guest star Dr. Kathy Humphrey, Senior Vice Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh. The production begins its run in the Charity Randall Theater on April 7th and closes on April 17th.

The play is based on Fellini's acclaimed and surrealistically autobiographical 1963 movie 8 1/2. The story revolves around film-maker Guido Contino and his search to come up with an idea for his next movie while juggling relationships with his wife, his mistress and a movie star. The play features prominent dance and song numbers such as "Folies Bergere", "Be Italian" and "Grand Canal".
