Music By: Cole Porter
Lyrics By: Cole Porter
Written By: P.G. Wodehouse, Howard Lindsay, Russel Crouse, Guy Bolton
Directed by Terri Kent

Audiences are certain to get a kick out of this lighthearted gem, a farcical tale of mistaken identities, misbegotten romance and overall silliness set aboard the luxury ocean liner where Billy Crocker tries to woo the girl of his dreams. The smashing Cole Porter score, considered one of the most glorious in the history of the American Musical Theater, includes You're the Top, I Get a Kick Out of You, It's De-Lovely and, of course, the irresistible title number. All aboard for this tuneful, tap-dancing, transatlantic romp awash with romance, intrigue and a delightful Cole Porter score.

Alice

July 3 - 19

ALICE…
Directed by Matthew Earnest

Take a fall with ALICE… down the rabbit hole into a wildly experimental feast for the senses. Matthew Earnest returns to direct this modern adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic adventure.  Audiences, young and old, will venture into a fantastical, psychedelic journey into Wonderland.  A piece of pure theatre that is full of truth, fun, and possibly some shock as Earnest adds his inventive and fresh mark on this childhood favorite.

The Music Man

July 24 - August 10

Book, Lyrics & Music by
MEREDITH WILLSON
Based on a story by MEREDITH WILLSON and FRANKLIN LACY

Directed by Terri Kent

“The Music Man” follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, thanks to its quirky characters, charmingly predictable dramatic situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards.  Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man” is an affectionate tribute to Smalltown, USA of the bygone era of pre-World War I. This is family entertainment at its best.
