BAC Stage Kids to put on musical for two weekends

The BAC Stage Kids present "Bugsy Malone Jr.," a musical based on gangster movies of the silent era and the 1976 film "Bugsy Malone," beginning Friday for two weekends at the Brewery Arts Center as part of the BAC's children's program.

A cast of youngsters 6 to 16 plays all the parts in this tongue-in-cheek tribute to the 1920s gangster flick. This wacky musical includes a child's dream come true: a nonviolent gang war fought with "splurge blasters" which spew forth Silly String.

"Bugsy Malone Jr." opens 7 p.m. Friday in the Donald W. Reynolds Theatre at the Brewery, 449 W. King St. Performances continue with shows at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for BAC members, seniors, students and kids.
