From music score to life on stage with Gene Terruso

The University of Scranton Players will present “Babbacombe” Lee, directed by Gene Terruso. The production will have a one-night show only on Tuesday, April 4 at 7 p.m., in the Royal Theatre in the McDade Center for the Literary and Performing Arts on The University of Scranton campus. Admission is free.

The company of “Babbacombe” Lee features: Zainab Shah from Karachi, Pakistan, Janice Healey from Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania, Michael Klingerman from Moscow, Pennsylvania, Seth Strouse from Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania, Cassidy Pfeiffer, from Old Forge, Pennsylvania and Richard Kraus from Shavertown, Pennsylvania.

In co-production with the Slattery Center, “Babbacombe” Lee tells the story of the man who defied his death sentence three times. The story dives into Lee’s life with his parents, life at sea, and later conviction, all told through the music of Fairport Convention.

There will be a presentation from Terruso at the beginning, featuring his past work and the stages of production, followed by a short demonstration of the latest show he has been working on, “Babbacombe” Lee.
