By Bella Getz ’24, staff writer

LVC’s music theater community set the stage for their upcoming production, Tuck Everlasting, with a cabaret held at Pho Bar & Grill on Friday, Jan. 26. 

Eighteen students and faculty showcased their talents, offering a sneak peek into the upcoming production based on the Natalie Babbitt novel, “Tuck Everlasting.”

“The students within the cast and production team worked tirelessly to put on a sell-out cabaret,” Jonathan Walker-VanKuren, assistant professor of music theatre & studio voice, said.

The production of Tuck Everlasting delves into the story of eleven-year-old Winnie Foster, who dreams of a life beyond the white-picket fence. As she discovers the Tuck family and their secret, the narrative explores themes of adventure, immortality and life choices.

“If the wild success of the cabaret says anything, it is to get your tickets now!” Walker-VanKuren said.

Performances are scheduled for April 4-6 at 7:00 p.m. and April 7 at 2:00 p.m. in Leedy Theater in the Allan W. Mund College Center. Tickets are available for purchase through LVC Music Theater BookTix. Students can reserve free tickets through Redbook.
