Brigadoon - A Fantasy!

The Martin Community Players are well into rehearsals for their Winter Musical. Marie Robertson, President of the Martin Community Players announced they are producing the fantasy-romance-musical play, "Brigadoon" written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. The play was originally produced on Broadway in 1947. It was also made into a movie in 1954 starring Gene Kelly as Tommy Albright, Van Johnson as Jeff Douglas and Cyd Charisse as Fiona Campbell.



Large Stage Dance Numbers Create A Broadway Production Feel


The Brigadoon plot: Two Americans on a hunting trip in Scotland become lost. They encounter a small village, not on the map, called Brigadoon, in which people harbor a mysterious secret, and behave as if they were still living two hundred years in the past. The fantasy offers great opportunities for music and dance to liven up your evening.
