SALAMANCA, N.Y. — The Cattaraugus County Living Arts Association is presenting three performances of “Next to Normal” at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday. This rock musical with music by Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey won the 2010 Pulitzer for Drama.
Jen Conklin plays the mother Diana while Skyler Schapp plays Dan, Diana’s husband. Their son Gabe is played by Brandon Milanowski and Emma Dwaileebe plays Natalie, their daughter. Andrew Truman portrays Henry, a friend of Natalie’s. In the role of Dr. Madden is Gretchen Henneman and Luke Papke rounds out the cast as Dr. Fine.
It is recommended that audience members be 16 years or older due to mature content (drug use, language, innuendo, mention of suicide). There are also a few instances of flickering lights.
Patrons are expected to wear masks throughout the performance. Tickets are available at the door of the Ray Evans Seneca Theater on Main Street in Salamanca or by visiting www.showclix.com/event/cclaantn.
