“Carousel is certainly known as one of the biggest musicals ever written. It’s really an American Opera.”

The Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center will be putting on that “American Opera”, as Justin Fortunato referred to it, this month in Midland. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel will be presented on two weekends, from June 17-19 and June 24-26 at the theater in Midland. Fortunato spoke with Matt Drzik on the June 3 edition of A.M. Beaver County to preview the upcoming show.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the artists that are working on this show,” Fortunato said, “and what they’re preparing to share with the public in just 14 days.” The 14 days stems from nearly two years, as the original dates for Lincoln Park’s presentations of Carousel were set for March of 2020.

Tickets start at $18 and can be purchased at the Lincoln Park Arts website or by calling 724-576-4644. Details regarding education opportunities for students at Lincoln Park can be found by going to lppacs.org.
