The Suffield Players, Suffield, CT, will present the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific in May 2011. The theater group announced their selection on December 12, 2010, upon being released from a contractual obligation that prevented them from revealing the musical’s title. The story focuses on Ensign Nellie Forbush, a U.S. Navy nurse who falls in love with Emile Debecque, a plantation owner many years her senior. Amid the highs and lows of this May-December romance, the play also touches upon the issues of racism and warfare. Frank Borrelli will direct the show, which will be performed May 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22. Auditions will be January 23 and 24.
