CIRIBIRIBIN by Marsh Youth Theater
Marsh Youth Theater's MainStage Performance Ensemble celebrates its eighth season with the world premiere of Ciribiribin, a musical about an Italian immigrant family living in California in the early 1940s. As the U.S.A. gets drawn into World War II, the family's Italian language and customs are outlawed and they begin to question the meaning of home. Ciribiribin swings with original songs, incorporating Italian folk melodies and the infectious sounds of the 30s and 40s.
Ciribiribin (pronounced "Cheery Beery Bean") was created by the writing team of Lisa Quoresimo and Charles Eurydice Gray. It takes its name from a nineteenth-century Italian song popularized in America in the 20s by Mario Lanza, then reborn as a big band hit by Harry James and Frank Sinatra.
