“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” Flies Into Mother Lode

Angels Camp, CA...One of the most fantasmagorical stories to ever fly across the stage and screen soars into the Bret Harte High School Performing Arts Center as Calaveras Sings Theatre Arts Repertory for Kids presents “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” July 31 through August 2 in Angels Camp, CA.

55 talented students, ages 5-18, from across Calaveras County will bring to life this beloved musical, based on Ian Fleming’s novel and the classic 1968 film about the Potts family, their flying car, and the adventures they have as they meet the delightful Truly Scrumptious, the scheming Baron and Baroness Bomburst, and a host of memorable characters.

“This is, by far, the most technically challenging production we’ve ever tackled as a company, but these kids consistently astonish me with their talent and dedication,” says Ann Mazzaferro, director of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” “We are delighted and honored to be the regional premiere of this musical, and cannot wait for audiences to see how these amazing students take flight.”

Performances are Friday, July 31, at 7:00 pm; Saturday, August 1 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm; and Sunday, August 2, at 2:00 pm. Regular ticket prices are $12 for adults and $7 for students under 18. The Saturday matinee will also offer Senior Special tickets for $5 each. Tickets can be pre-ordered by emailing info@cstarskids.com or by calling (209) 753-8631.

Mazzaferro is joined on the production team by assistant director Ashley VanKirk and choreographer Katy Meeks. Set design is led by Skip Sharp; costume design is led by Renee Kraemer and Kathy Mazzaferro, and lighting and technical direction by David Duggan. Major production sponsors include Calaveras County district attorney Barbara Yook; Steve Hayward, State Farm Insurance; and Greenhorn Creek Golf Course and Resort.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre international, New York, www.MTIShows.com.
