It’s SHOWTIME FOLKS…

Lucky Guy premiere is around the corner

With a fast and funny plot, Lucky Guy is a fresh, new, and totally original musical comedy guaranteed to delight the whole family.
A NOTE from Willard Beckham –  the Writer of Lucky Guy:
We have an amazing cast of super talented young actors who’ve successfully tackled learning a brand new musical they’d never even heard of before and making it their own. It’s their hard work, dedication, and talent that is truly bringing this show to life and I sincerely thank each and every one of them. Bravo!

The Center for Theatre Arts has been working directly  with Willard Beckham – the AUTHOR, COMPOSER and BOOK Writer from New York ( who will be coming to Pittsburgh for the shows -) along with  R&H Theatricals to develop this musical for HIGH SCHOOL students!

Mr. Beckham visits the CAST of LUCKY GUY and works on the show with us!  WE are indeed LUCKY GUYS and GALS
