ART Station Presents “The Marvelous Wonderettes” - Musical Directed by Karen Beyer Starts School Year with Prom

To get a head start on the new school year, ART Station has invited well-known Atlanta director and choreographer Karen Beyer to direct The Marvelous Wonderettes, a light-hearted musical that will take theater-goers back to the 1958 Springfield High School prom. All shows run Thursdays through Sundays from August 1 – 18 and tickets are available online at www.artstation.org or by calling 770-469-1105.

The Marvelous Wonderettes are four teenage girls, played by Emily Budd, Hailey Daigle, Liza Jaine and Sims Lamason, all with hopes and dreams as big as their petticoats. They share this special evening in their young lives through such classic '50s and '60s songs as "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Stupid Cupid," "Lipstick On Your Collar," "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," "It's My Party" and more than twenty other pop hits. The show’s musical direction is by Patrick Hutchison.

“I am thrilled to direct this fun and lively show at ART Station – this will be my third time here as guest director,” says Karen Beyer. She has been resident choreographer at ART Station for 12 years, and has previously directed Married Alive! and Are We There Yet?

Karen has more than 30 years of experience as a ballet, ballroom and disco professional and has choreographed for Disney, Theatre in the Square, Springer Theatre and the Colquitt/Miller Arts Council.  Karen is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and AEA and has been seen on stage at ART Station, the Alliance Theatre, Ansley Park Playhouse, Theatrical Outfit and the McGinn/Cazale Theatre in N.Y.  Recent film & TV credits include: Devious Maids, The TLC Story, Joyful Noise, and the upcoming feature Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
