Analiese Emerson Guettinger, an 11-year-old actress from Queen Anne is getting her shot at the big time with a role in the Village Theatre's new production of "Meet Me in St. Louis," which opens Nov. 12 at the company's Issaquah theatre.
Guettinger plays Tootie Smith of the Smith family during the time of the St. Louis World's Fair. Directed and choreographed by Steve Tomkins, "Meet Me in St. Louis" focuses on family relationships set to popular music and full of bright costumes designed by Cynthia Savage. The musical opens on the World's Fair in 1904, and follows the Smith family and the move that threatens to change their lives forever. It features memorable tunes like "The Trolley Song," "Meet Me in St. Louis," and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."
Guettinger will join 25 cast members for more than 80 performances spanning three months beginning in Issaquah and moving to Everett in January.
"It's a big job and she is a great talent," said Michelle Sanders of the Village Theatre.[[In-content Ad]]
