ACE Opens its Thirtieth Season
Date: 24-08-2008
ACE Opens its Thirtieth Season with a WORLD PREMIERE!
 \"\"
Actors Cabaret of Eugene is thrilled to celebrate its Thirtieth Year with the World Premiere of a New York bound musical, TELL ME.  This award winning musical has been selected as one of the most promising new musicals of the season, and we are honored to have the New York based writers, Marshall Pailet and A.D. Penedo and TELL ME\'s original director, Igor Goldin visiting Eugene to shepherd this brilliant new musical to the ACE stage!
 
TELL ME, is the story of Jessie, a feisty young girl with a sharp wit and an out-sized imagination, which she uses to help herself and her family cope with her terrible illness.  But can she go further and use her fantasy world to cause positive change in the real world?  With a soaring score by an extremely gifted young composer, TELL ME takes audiences on an emotional, thought-provoking journey filled with humor and wonder, and leaves us uplifted and deeply inspired by the story of one girl\'s spirit and courage.
 
TELL ME opens September 19 and runs through October 11.  There will be seven performances only, on Friday and Saturday evenings, with no performance on October 4.  Tickets are $19.00 for reserved seats, and dinner and the show is only $35.95.  Tickets are available at the ACE Box Office, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, Tuesday through Saturday, or online at www.actorscabaret.org.
