Rachel Muirhead in Emporia State production of 'The Star-Spangled Girl'

2017 Jun 7

Rachel Muirhead of Hays, Kansas, is part of cast and crew presenting "The Star-Spangled Girl" by Neil Simon.

Under the direction of Theresa Mitchell, "The Star-Spangled Girl" is a classic Neil Simon tale of romance and comedy. The show's main characters include a duo of publishers who use their San Francisco apartment as an office for their "protest magazine," and an Olympic swimmer and all-American girl, who moves into another apartment on the same floor. A love triangle soon emerges between the three, adding onto their already hectic lives filled with fielding calls from an irate printer and distracting the landlady.

Muirhead, a senior speech and theatre education major, plays Sophie.

The production will be designed by Rick Rasmussen, a Seattle-area set designer who returns to ESU for his 24th season of summer theatre.

"The Star-Spangled Girl" runs June 14-17 at 7:30 p.m. All performances will be in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre located at 1301 Market Street.
