ASCC presents its most ambitious play yet
Wednesday,
April 30, 2008
Tomorrow is the opening night of the American Samoa Community College’s production of the musical play Aida.
The play will have a three night run the Lee Auditorium. An epic love story set in ancient Egypt, “Aida” will showcase the most advanced levels of singing, dancing, and acting and stage design ever attempted in an ASCC production. ASCC Drama instructor Carmela Gallace says, “It gives me great pride to say I can comfortably compare the level of choreography and acrobatic movement we’ve achieved with this play to popular mainland theater attractions like the Cirque de Soliel,” says Gallace. “The audiences will see things they have never before experienced.” Gallace says of the music score, “You can hear beautiful Broadway-style ballads, but also reggae, Motown, rock & roll, gospel, and pop.
This score sounds like nothing we’ve tried before, and I owe a lot to my colleague Kuki Tuiasosopo for helping the cast master the vocal parts. Regina Meredith, whom most of us know from her work in the visual arts, also has two years of opera training under her belt, and she also guided the cast through vocal techniques and exercises to help get their voices in shape to meet this kind of challenge.” Meredith and her visual arts students have once again risen to the occasion by producing a set design, which Gallace describes as “amazing”. The public can purchase tickets for “Aida” at the door on all three evenings. The box office, organized by the ASCC Business Department, will open at 6 p.m., an hour before curtain time. General Admission is $5.00, and $10.00 for V.I.P. seating.
