About Singin’ in the Rain


Based on the original award-winning screenplay by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green, this local adaptation will attempt to capture the charm, humor and music that made the classic film a favorite for generations.

Set during Hollywood’s transition from silent films to talking pictures, Singin’ in the Rain follows the story of movie star Don Lockwood and his glamorous co-star Lina Lamont.

While the pair appear to be a perfect match on screen, the reality behind the scenes is far more complicated.

When the arrival of sound in motion pictures threatens Lina’s career due to her famously squeaky voice, a talented young actress steps in to help save the film and perhaps change the course of several lives along the way.
