Theater 2020 “Visions for a New Millennium”
THE SINGAPORE MIKADO
In this original concept production by Charles Berigan and David Fuller, you are invited to be a guest at a holiday party at St. George’s Church in Singapore on December 10, 1941, given by the British consul, Sir Evelyn Estebrooke, where the entertainment is "The Mikado" performed by friends from the Singapore community. Occurring just days after the raid on Pearl Harbor, the Brits aim to thumb their collective noses at the Empire of the Rising Sun, totally unaware that the Emperor's troops are marching down the Malayan Peninsula toward this Gibraltar of the East.
For this 2015 run, the multi Award winning producing team of David Fuller & Judith Jarosz are presenting the show in the gorgeous white marble sanctuary of the Saint Charles Borromeo Church in the stunning landmark neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. Come and see why after our 40th Anninversay presentation of the Hal Prince production of Leonard Bernstein’s musical CANDIDE The Huffington Post declared “Theater 2020 has once again proven that you can easily delight an audience when you have 1,000 times more imagination than funding!"
