ABOUT THE SHOW: The Pajama Game is a golden age musical based on the novel 7 ½ cents by Richard Bissell that showcases the 1950’s factory lifestyle and the working classes’ struggles and triumphs. Come with us to the Sleep Tite pajama factory where the temperature is rising. This fast paced, fun filled musical turns the burners up when a factory romance is sparked between the steamy new superintendent Sid Sorokin (Eric Dobson) and firecracker head of the grievance committee, Babe Williams (Taylor Davis). The story gets even hotter when the factory workers strike in the hopes to get their 7 ½ cents raise. The Pajama Game is a show you don’t want to miss, with musical numbers like ‘I’m Not at All in love,’ ‘Hey There,’ ‘Steam Heat,’ and ‘Hernando’s Hideaway!’ ABOUT OUR THEATRE: Believing the theatre is an agent of challenge, change, and education, Centerstage presents and produces quality performances to enhance the lives of people and communities in Western Washington. Centerstage Theatre has been a feature of the South Sound Arts Community since 1977. Moving into the brand new Knutzen Family Theatre in 1998, the company continued to grow, eventually stepping into the professional theatre world by beginning to pay all of its actors and production crew and garnering awards from local publications and papers. *For more information on THE PAJAMA GAME, call the box office at (253) 661-1444, or email Artistic Director Trista Duval at **Trista@CenterstageTheatre.com* *END* -- Trista Duval Interim Artistic Director Centerstage Theatre (253) 661-1444 http://www.centerstagetheatre.com
