Director's Notes

Thoughts on The Fantasticks
by Director Katy Brown   Do you remember your first love? The all encompassing one — the one who made you feel like you had made love up yourself and no one had ever felt it before? Sit very still for a moment and remember what that was like. You are here in this theatre to remember what that kind of love felt like in all its young, blazing, fantastic wondrousness and stupidity.

You are here to remember the roller coaster of first love.
