WINTER/SPRING 2023JANUARY
Fools by Neil Simon Director: Emilee Lillian Caughel Comedy: January 20-29 - 2 week run Description: Leon is ecstatic. He’s landed a terrific teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet. When he arrives, he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and people milking upside down to get more cream. The town has been cursed with Chronic Stupidity for two hundred years, and Leon’s job is to break the curse. MARCH The Trojan Women by Ellen McLaughlin, adapted from Euripides Director: Kaylee Loxton; Greek Tragedy: March 3-19 Description: In the wake of their devastating defeat, the women of Troy, all now widows, wait on the beach below the ravaged city to be claimed by their Greek conquerors as slaves and concubines. Though the war is over, exile and degradation lie ahead and the fates of these women, including Queen Hecuba, her daughter Cassandra, the doomed, mad prophetess, and her daughter-in-law Andromache, widow of the great Hector, are still in the balance. APRIL Into the Woods by James Lapine & Stephen Sondheim Director: Regina Spain; Music Director: Amy Fabick Musical Adventure: April 14-30 Description: The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching. One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. MAY The Little Prince – adapted from the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Director: Regina Spain; Drama: May 12-21 (originally July ’20); Two weekends PLUS Saturday Matinees, a Friday Senior/School Matinee Description: The Little Prince is a beautifully creative show that will strike the hearts of adults and be excited to kids. The story originated from a French book published in 1943 which has sold over 100 million copies since, and as of 2017 became the world’s most translated non-religious book with 300 languages. |
