SUMMER 2023**JULY**
Little Shop of Horrors Book & Lyrics by Howard Ashman; Music by Alan Menken; Directors: Lucy Fabick & Jake DeLeon; Producer: Kiley Henderson; Sci-Fi Musical Comedy: July 7-23; All (8) roles to be cast; Description: Feed the need for musical hilarity with this delicious sci-fi smash about a man-eating plant. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination! **AUGUST** Will On the Water: The Tragedie of Romeo & Juliet By William Shakespeare Director: Regina Spain; Producer: Brian Spain; Tragedie: August 4-20, All (20ish) roles to cast; Description: In William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the young star-crossed lovers to grow up quickly — and fate causes them to commit suicide in despair. Contrast and conflict are running themes throughout Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet — one of the Bard's most popular romantic tragedies. **SEPTEMBER** Oz By Patrick Shanahan Director: Regina Spain; Producer: Brian Spain; Drama: September 8-24; All (3) roles to cast; Description: L. Frank Baum is in trouble—forty-four years old and on the eve of his greatest creative work—he is a "jack of all trades" but success eludes him. It is 1899 in Chicago and Baum is putting the finishing touches on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but putting dreams on paper is elusive business and Baum is struggling with some definite plot problems, no title and no ending! Like the cyclone in his story, Baum's housekeeper, Bridgey, and a little girl named Dot get swept up in the mad vortex of his tale, as Baum enlists them to help him improvise the story. Suddenly, an overstuffed Victorian study becomes a magical land, a black, horsehair footstool becomes Toto; a ceiling fan with scarves becomes the cyclone; stuffing from the sofa, a potbelly stove and a bearskin rug become the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Cowardly Lion. Somewhere, in the heart of this frenzy is the whole creative process, and in the end we realize that Baum is the real wizard of Oz, but he needs an assistant … our imaginations. After the Kansas City world premiere, Oz went international in a spectacular production at London's famed Unicorn Theatre. The resulting critically acclaimed production developed and resulted in a more dramatic, expanded script which is available manuscript form. The staging of Oz has a wonderful flexiblity and infinitely creative process as shown in the two versions of the same script and its many productions across America. |
