A treasured piece of American legend is brought to life in
Vero Voce School of Performing Arts’ musical production of Pocahontas. Geneva’s Lilly Nowak as Pocahontas portrays the Indian
princess as she tries to find common ground between her Algonquin tribe and the
settlers of Jamestown. She seeks the counsel of the Spirit of Mother Earth
(Kayla Bussert) and advice from her animal friends (David Brown, Maya
Gutierrez, Mackenzie Hillman, Jamie Maul) as she tries to bridge peace between
her father, Chief Powhatan (Nick Borodin) and Captain John Smith (Liam
McCarron). The tale is cleverly woven with Native American lore and beautiful
music.
The Pocahontas
cast includes: Jamie Maul (Aurora), Riley Sachse (Batavia), Mackenzie Hillmann (Campton Hills), Elisabeth Reuter
(Carol Stream), Erica Johnson (Maple Park), Kayla Bussert (South Elgin), Nick
Borodin, Ella Kobylecky, Lilly Nowak, Abageal Phelan, Isabelle Schamberger,
Addison Zima (Geneva), Riley Brutto, Allison Cole, Trevor Cowart, Aaron
Delaney, Maya Gutierrez, Girisha Kanuri, Skylar Knorr, Liam McCarron (St.
Charles).
Directed by Kim Maslo with music direction by Melissa
Pagano-Arndt, Pocahontas runs
Saturdays at 11am and 1pm and Sundays at 11am from November 16-24m 2013. Tickets: Adults $15 and Kids under 16 are $9. Contact

Simultaneously, Vero Voce will be presenting Pocahontas Uncut, an alternate version
of the show directed by David M. Rodriguez, Theatrical Artistic Director of
Vero Voce. Using the same talented cast
and crew, Uncut will appeal to older
audiences by adding meta-humor, sarcasm and dry wit to the same script. Pocahontas
Uncut will be presented Saturday November 16 and 23 at 3pm.
