Skylight Music Theatre

Featuring Niffer Clarke and Richard Carsey. Beyond the Ingénue pays homage to the golden-voiced sopranos Niffer Clarke grew up idolizing. These musical theatre icons endowed the ingénue--the ‘‘girl next door’’--with wit, spine and spirit. As their careers progressed, they also re-invented themselves, and their journeys have inspired Niffer on her own voyage of selfdiscovery and revelation. This will be an evening of glorious music, fun stories and Niffer’s amazing personal tales of touring with Shirley Jones!
