SHELTON — There’s no business like show business, to steal a line from legendary composer Irving Berlin.
Just ask residents Gary and Francesca Scarpa, who have been directing theatrical productions since 1976, when they started with the Shelton High School Drama Club.
In 1983, the Scarpas founded the Youth CONNection, a community theater troupe for high school students and youths up to age 24.
The Broadway musical “Annie Get Your Gun” is the Youth CONNection’s 28th summer show. The show features music and lyrics by Berlin, with book by Herbert Fields and his sister, Dorothy Fields.
