They are monumental Broadway titles:

"West Side Story"

"Sweeney Todd"

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"

"A Little Night Music"

"Company"

"Follies"

But of all Stephen Sondheim's exceptional lyric and/or music contributions to contemporary theater none are more innovative and rewarding than his 1985 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "Sunday in the Park with George."

Manatee Players Artistic Director Rick Kerby is definitely a fan as well.

His company's acclaimed production of "Sunday in the Park with George" concluded its winning Bradenton run Oct. 10.

And now, thanks to fiercely positive feedback, the show goes on. At a festival, which, in the past, paved the way for the Manatee players to attain national acclaim in 2005 with their potent production of "Metamorphoses."
