EVENT - THEATER: La Scafetta: The Founding Drawer

Local author Mary Rohrer-Dann has written a series of poems based on the true story of an all-girl orchestra in Baroque Vienna. Cynthia Mazzant, artistic director of Tempest Studios, has transformed these stories into a play, LA SCAFETTA: THE FOUNDING DRAWER,  about a young violinist and her jealous music teacher.


The original orchestra had consisted of orphans who lived in a cloistered environment and were so well known that much of their music was composed by Vivaldi.

Here is an opportunity to see a show that highlights the talents of author Mary Rohrer-Dann, director Cynthia Mazzant, and a cast of actresses, many who will be familiar to you from our community theatres.


If you are a supporter of our local theater scene, LA SCAFETTA: THE FOUNDING DRAWER will be presented at The University Club on College Avenue in State College, November 3rd and 4th.
