Red Mountain Theatre and UAB Theatre co-presenting Disney's ‘Freaky Friday' in April
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Red Mountain Theatre is continuing its partnership with the UAB Department of Theatre to present Disney's 'Freaky Friday' from April 4-19.
This collaboration between Red Mountain Theatre and UAB Theatre was launched in 2024 to allow theater students to work professionally while still in college. The partnership's inaugural production, 'Sister Act,' featured UAB students in more than half the roles in the show's cast and crew.
The two lead roles in 'Freaky Friday' will be played by UAB Head of Musical Theatre Valerie Accetta and student Sammy Sledd. Red Mountain Theatre Singh Artistic Director Roy Lightner, who's an associate professor at UAB, will direct the show. The show's assistant director is UAB senior Matthew Piper.
