Joseph and the
Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat
April 16 - May 2, 2010
Music by Andrew Lloyd Weber
Lyrics by Tim Rice
The biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph is his father’s favorite son and a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles ranging from country western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ’n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges in true Andrew Lloyd Webber fashion that is both timely and timeless.

Book, music and lyrics
by Jonathan Larson
Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical, based loosely on Puccini's opera La Bohème, follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part. |

Guys & Dolls
Oct 7 - 24, 2010
Book by Jo Swerling & Abe Burrows
Music & Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Set in Damon Runyon's mytical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy - considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy - soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in the canon: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll" out to reform the evildoers of Times Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact that she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Steel Magnolias
Nov 18 - Dec 5, 2010
Written by Robert Harling
This bittersweet play serves up a slice of life in Louisiana that's as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie. In the haven of Truvy's beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighborly gossip for good measure. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they weather every event in their lives with grace, determination and perfectly coifed hair.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Jan 20 - Feb 6, 2011
Book by Jeffrey Lane
Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek
Based on the popular 1988 film, this
madcap musical centers on two con men living on the French Riviera. One is the suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their fortunes. The other is a small-time crook, Freddy Benson, who swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories of his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement -- the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins...and the other must leave town. What ensues is a hilarious battle of cons that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end! |
Biloxi Blues

Written by Neil Simon
This is the second in Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Neil Simon’s “Eugene Trilogy” which begins with Brighton Beach
Memoirs and concludes with Broadway Bound. When we last met Eugene Jerome, he was coping with adolescence in 1930s Brooklyn. Here he is a young army recruit during World War 2, going through basic training and learning about life and love, along with some harsher lessons, while stationed at boot camp in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1943. |
