by Moses
Goldberg
directed by Craig Kosnik
Our first show on the
Mainstage is an exciting classic that will thrill all age groups. The
Outlaw Robin Hood is an action-filled play about law and order in Medieval
England with some of our favorite characters. In this version of the well-known
tale of Robin Hood heroic deeds are seen anew in Robin bedeviled with a
dilemma: obey the law and see people suffer the worst evils of the feudal
system or break the law and see injury and death to his people. Show Dates: October 9, 10, 16, 17 at 7:30pm
and 11 & 18 at 2:00pm
Advanced
Directing Student Shows
Each
Fall semester in our Studio Theatre we have opportunities for our students to

variety and even some original works written by the directors. Titles and their specific performance dates
will be announced sometime in October. Show
dates: Nov. 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 7:30pm and 15 & 22 at 2:00pm.
The
Secret in the Wings
by Mary Zimmerman
directed by Andrea
Robertson
Murder, incest, betrayal,
infanticide, cannibalism and happy ever after?
Our spring semester begins with The Secret in the Wings in our Studio
Theatre. The show adapts a group of lesser-known fairy
tales to create a theatrical work that sets their dark mystery against
Zimmerman’s signature wit and humor. The framing story concerns a child and the
frightening babysitter with whom her parents leave her. As the babysitter reads
from a book, the characters in each of the tales materialize, all interwoven in
to a larger tale that will surprise you with its ending. Show
Dates: February 26, 27, March 4, 5 at
7:30pm and February 28 & March 6 at 2:00pm.
The
Odd Couple (Female Version)
by
Neil Simon
directed by Gary Zaro
Unger and Madison are at it
again in our Spring Mainstage Production! Florence Unger and Olive Madison,
that is, in Neil Simon's hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female
version of The Odd Couple. The gender may have changed, but the hilarity
remains the same. Show Dates: April 15,
16, 22, 23 at 7:30pm and 17 & 24 at 2:00pm.
by Jeffery Lane and David Yazbek
directed
by Andrea Robertson
Based on the popular 1988 MGM film, our
summer musical takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity.
Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their
money. Freddy Benson swindles women by waking their compassion about his
grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work
together only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two
of them!
Show Dates: June 17, 18, 24, 25 at 7:30pm and 19, 26 at 2:00pm.
