Tickets to "Badger," our studio production at Toquet Hall February 6th & 7th, are now on sale at staplesplayers.com! This production is directed by Players seniors Will McCrea and Connor Yuan.

What's "Badger"? We're glad you asked!

In 1944, five young women take newly available jobs at one of the largest munitions factories in the United States: the Badger Ordnance Works. Through their struggles and triumphs, the women form unlikely bonds as they adapt to the danger as well as insidious sexism that taking over jobs traditionally held by men brings.

Players alum Lauren Weinberger asked us to pass along information about a benefit concert she is producing next month. Here’s what Lauren has to say — we hope that you can consider attending for this worthy cause!

From Lauren: "I founded Listen to the Beat back in 2011 (while in Players) to raise money for The American Heart Association in honor of my late grandmother who passed away from a heart attack at 62.

This year Listen to the Beat will be on 2/9 at 7:30 at St. Luke’s Theater in NYC and will be featuring some alums: Michelle Pauker, Rachel Samuels and Max Samuels. Other Broadway performers include Jay Armstrong Johnson (Parade, Moulin Rouge Nat. Tour, On The Town, Hair), Bella Coppola (Six, Smash), Matt Rodin (Beau, Company Nat. Tour), Sam Gravitte (Wicked), Jared Goldsmith (Dear Evan Hansen), Dan Hoy (Masquerade, Pirates of Penzance, Harmony), and Taylor Iman Jones (Six, Head over Heels, Groundhog Day).

All proceeds go to The American Heart Association."
