Daddy Long Legs at Cinnabar Petaluma

By January 29, 2023August 3rd, 2023No Comments

Cinnabar Theater’s recent two-person show, Daddy Long Legs, featured married actors Brittany Law Hasbany (Jerusha Abbott) and Zachary Hasbany (Jervis Pendleton aka Daddy Long Legs) in starring roles. They carried the show with a great sense of timing and energetic performance. They broke into song as the story, set in 1908, progresses into a letter exchange and finally romance. The music and lyrics by Paul Gordon are charming.

The imaginative set (Designer Wayne Hovey) was divided into two sides—one the orphanage where a young woman, Jerusha lives and later the college she attends; the other side is the office of Jervis Pendleton, Jerusha’s “secret” benefactor.

The live orchestra featuring Brett Strader, Issac Carter and Gwyneth Davis accompanied the players wonderfully and made the show worthwile.

Coming up next at Cinnabar is Tiger Style opening April 27, 2023.
