by William Shakespeare
Trouble lurks in Duke Fredrick's court. He sits uneasily on his stolen throne and secures his position by banishing Rosalind, the beautiful daughter of the rightful duke. Disguised as a man, she flees the scheming confines of the city to safety in the forest of Ardenne. This modern take on Shakespeare's classic brings Rosalind on a romantic adventure that tests the limits of family, love at first sight and ultimately Rosalind herself.

SCAPIN - Grand Canyon University - October 9 - 18, 2015
by Molière, adapted by Bill Irwin
Legendary clown and comedian Bill Irwin adapts Moliere's wickedly funny play about a servant in danger of getting too big for his already oversized britches. Scapin must help keep two young couples together, despite some angry parents in the way. He dexterously juggles the fathers against each other, but he isn't satisfied until he gets a little revenge first. Half comedy, half love story and three quarters anarchy, this production sizzles with lightning speed and jaw-dropping stunts.

ALL MY SONS - Grand Canyon University - February 12 - 21, 2016
by Arthur Miller
Post-World War II America is the backdrop for this gripping, Tony award-winning play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller. Chris Keller is all set for his shot at the American Dream, but his family is haunted by ghosts of the past. Questions of justice, family and personal ambition barrage the Kellers until something has to give. Chris must decide between security and honor - and the costs of both are steep.

Die Fledermaus
Nov. 13-15 and 20-22, 2015
Gabriel von Eisenstein is in a predicament. He's due to spend eight days in jail for insulting a local bigwig, but not before he attends an extravagant masquerade ball to do a little flirting. As the night gets out of hand, everyone ends up in jail by the next morning. This comic operetta is a study in revenge and trickery with lush costumes and a sumptuously romantic score. It's a party, and you're all invited.
