RENT

July 9-31, 2010

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 mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls follows the story of a group of small-time gamblers and the ladies in their lives. Nathan Detroit bets his pal Sky Masterson that he can’t make the next lady he sees fall in love with him, and when the next “doll” to catch his eye is the prim and proper neighborhood missionary, Sarah Brown, this high-spirited show - considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy – kicks into high gear!

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

March 3 - 20, 2011

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 II, 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.

Annie

Leapin’ Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine takes center stage in one of the world’s best-loved musicals about a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan.
