Prepare to enjoy laughter, sing-alongs, and toe-tapping rhythms as the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) School of Film and Acting stages The Drowsy Chaperone. This delightful musical-within-a-musical revives the glitz and charm of 1920s Broadway. The performance is set to captivate audiences from May 22 to 25 at Savannah’s iconic Lucas Theatre for the Arts.

A winner of multiple Tony Awards, this humorous production centers around a solitary theater devotee, referred to as the “Man in Chair,” who finds solace in enjoying his beloved, yet overlooked, musical. As he listens to the original cast recording, the show magically springs to life in his living space, featuring intricate cases of mistaken identity, groomsmen who tap-dance, and a charmingly inebriated chaperone.

This elaborate production showcases the talents of over 60 students from elite degree disciplines such as acting, production design, costume design, lighting design, as well as music and sound design.

“This show has everything for everyone of all ages,” said director and SCAD acting director Christian Delcroix. “There’s comedy, entertainment, lots of surprise elements, and one show-stopping song and dance number after another. These student actors are incredibly talented and they will blow audiences away with their spectacular performances.”

Delcroix performed on Broadway for over a decade before coming to teach at SCAD, appearing in shows like South Pacific, Follies, and The Book of Mormon. He is joined by other Broadway veterans who are mentoring The Drowsy Chaperon student cast. The musical is choreographed by Broadway actress/SCAD acting professor Margot de La Barre, and music directed by Broadway music director Jasper Grant. Originally written by Bob

“This is SCAD’s latest act of bringing Broadway to Broughton Street!” said Andra Reeve-Rabb, the dean of the School of Film and Acting. “With our team of creatives made up of talented students and Broadway veterans, we are thrilled to bring this musical favorite to the historic Lucas Theatre.”
