Book by Joseph Stein (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF)

Based on the film LA FEMME DE BOULANGER by Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono

Opens April 25, 2008

Directed by Scott Hart; Musical Direction by Clifford Parrish

The Bakers Wife is set in the 1935 in a rural village in Provence, France, whose inhabitants, though endearing are quite contentious with one another. Having been without a baker for some time, the residents are thrilled when the baker, Aimable Castignent arrives with his beautiful young bride, Genevieve. The bread is hot and delicious and all is well – until Genevieve is seduced away from her older husband, by a young and handsome villager. Aimable crumbles – and so does his bread making abilities. Driven to distraction by “breadlessness,” the villagers rally to lure Genevieve back, setting long-standing arguments aside for the greater good: fresh bread!

The cast includes: Greg Moran, Marguerite Durant, Rich Malloy, Lynn Hart, Robert Longstreet, Jeffery Fiorello, Lou Savarese, Roxanna Wagner, Michael Moran, Brett Petersen, Lamont Hill, Billy Brisley, Claudia Metz, Dave Villepique, Susan Hagen, Lindsey Brown, and Ericka Traugh.

Directed by Scott Hart, who also directed CTG’s award winning production of BLOOD BROTHERS, THE BAKER’S WIFE will be performed with a nine-piece, professional orchestra, under the musical director and conductor, Clifford Parrish.

Rouding out the production team are Producer Ellen Fraker Glasscock, Stage Managers Peg Hill & Geraldine Baillod, and Choreographers Roxanna Wagner & Bill Brisley.
