Neighbohood

Seminary Valley

Several of our young neighbors have been “treading the boards” this summer. At the Little Theatre of Alexandria, Zachary Frank, Sam Jones and Ben Ribler are finishing up their run this Saturday, Aug. 18 as members of the “Sweeney Todd” cast. Zach and Ben had featured roles as Pirelli the Barber and as Toby, respectively, while Sam rounded out a top-notch ensemble. You might be able to snag a ticket: go to www.thelittletheatre.org for more information. The day after the show closes, Zach and Sam will head to college, at William and Mary and Christopher Newport University, respectively, and Ben will start his senior year at T.C. Williams High School. Another T.C. Williams student, Charlotte Torres, deserves a shout-out, having just finished performing in “Urinetown”, a production of the Theatre Lab School of the Dramatic Arts in Washington D.C.
