Jenn Gambatese to Join Robert Cuccioli, Beth Fowler, Luba Mason, Lenny Wolpe in Wildcat Benefit

Jenn Gambatese will replace the previously announced Allison Case in Theatrical Gems’ benefit presentation of the 1961 musical Wildcat, at the Julia Miles Theater at 7pm on Sunday, December 19.

The show, with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, and book by N. Richard Nash, stars Robert Cuccioli and Luba Mason, along with Beth Fowler and Lenny Wolpe. Jacob Shoesmith-Fox directs the production, which will feature musical direction by Steven H. Taylor.

Wildcat tells the story of a frontier woman named Wildcat Jackson (Mason) who arrives in a border town in the American southwest with dreams of striking oil and, with the help of her sister Janie (Gambatese), eccentric new friend Countess Emily O’Brien (Fowler), and the local hermit Sookie (Wolpe), tricks foreman Joe Dynamite (Cuccioli) into helping her.

Proceeds will benefit the Actors Fund.
