Turtle Lane Playhouse is a small, pleasant playhouse and we thoroughly enjoyed Dames at Sea. The singing and tap dancing was excellent!

More Details About This Event:

This campy spoof of 1930s movie musicals is the lighthearted, tap-happy comedy that launched Bernadette Peters’ career.

In a featured role is Kerrin Clark of Weymouth, Mass., as Ruby- the fresh-from-the-country ingénue seeking stardom in the Big City. Ms. Clark was Miss Bay State 2007 and also performed at the 2000 Olympic Games.

Also featured is Danielle Morellino, recently of New York City, in the role of Mona Kent, the temperamental Broadway star. Ms. Morellino moved to Boston last year in order to become a member of the 2006-2007 inaugural Boston Celtics Dance Team.

Rounding out the cast are Boston Conservatory students Kristina Bjornstad as Joan, Phil Crumrine as Dick and Michael Reckling as Lucky. Veteran Boston actor Brian-Wolfe Leonard plays dual roles as both Broadway director Hennessey, and a naval ship captain.

Directing the show is IRNE*-award winning director John MacKenzie, who, as a personal challenge, requested not only to direct the show, but to build the set and design the lighting as well.

About Turtle Lane Playhouse:

In 1980, Turtle Lane Players began as a spinoff from a group at the Vokes Theatre in Wayland. These players mounted a production of Godspell so popular that it was first transferred to downtown Boston and then toured suburbia. Rehearsals were held at the home of a cast member who lived on Turtle Lane in Dover, as other shows were hatched, a new theater group was born!

About Turtle Lane Playhouse:

Established in 1980, Turtle Lane Playhouse presents up to 5 fully staged musical productions per year, bringing Broadway to your backyard ! Their unique & popular Stage Door Pub provides refreshments before, during & after the show.
