                          “Fiddler on the Roof” (Musical Drama, runs Oct. 8-23)

In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler On The Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. It's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

                          “Arsenic & Old Lace” (Non-Musical Comedy, runs Dec. 3-11)

In Arsenic and Old Lace, we meet the charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously "acceptable" roomers; the antics of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other brother—well, we won’t give it away here!  The play is well-known for good reason:  it was a smash hit in New York and has continued its success world-wide!

                          “Don’t Dress for Dinner” (Non-Musical Farce, Feb. 4-12)

This boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production. Bernard is planning a weekend with his mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and has even invited his best friend to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.  

              “Singin’ in the Rain” (Musical Romantic Comedy, runs April 8-23)

You remember the plot. You love the characters. You know "the song." It's no less than the stage adaptation of one of the most celebrated and beloved films of all time.  1920s Hollywood is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy about the early days of sound film, when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture star.

                    “Always…Patsy Cline” (Biographical Musical Fundraiser, Dates TBD)

Based on the true story of Patsy Cline’s friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger, Always… Patsy Cline focuses on Cline’s life and music.  With heart and humor, audiences are treated to Seger’s stories and the songs that made Patsy Cline a household name, including Anytime, Walkin’ After Midnight, She’s Got You, Sweet Dreams, and Crazy.
